Abstract:
A semi-transparent reflective electro-optic apparatus, comprising:an electro-optic material; a light-transmitting substrate retaining the electro-optic material; a light-transmitting concave and convex forming film defining specific concave portions and convex portions; and a light-reflecting film formed over the concave and convex forming film, the light-reflecting film defining a light-transmitting window, a back surface of the light-reflecting film including, in a partial region of a periphery of the light-transmitting window, a light-guiding reflection surface that opposes a surface of the light-reflecting film in a region opposing the partial region with the light-transmitting window in between, so that part of light incident from a back surface side of the light-transmitting substrate is reflected on the light-guiding reflection surface and guided to a surface side of the light-transmitting substrate.
