Abstract:
1. An electro-optical device comprising: a sealant provided between a pair of substrates in a frame shape; an electro-optical material layer formed by sealing an electro-optical material within a region surrounded by the sealant; an insulating layer provided within the region surrounded by the sealant on at least one of the pair of substrates; and an alignment layer provided between the insulating layer and the electro-optical material layer, the region surrounded by the sealant including an effective display region where display is performed and a peripheral region located between the effective display region and the sealant, the insulating layer in the effective display region having a part adjacent to the peripheral region, the insulating layer in the effective display region being thinner than that in the peripheral region, and the insulating layer within the peripheral region is formed with a recessed portion to which a material of the alignment layer flows, wherein the effective display region includes a reflective display region where reflective display is performed and a transmissive display region where transmissive display is performed, the insulating layer within the effective display region is formed at least in the reflective display region so as to make the thickness of the electro-optical material layer in the reflective display region smaller than the thickness of the electro-optical material layer in the transmissive display region, and the insulating layer within the reflective display region is formed to have the same thickness as the insulating layer within the peripheral region.
