Patent ID: 8189142

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: a pair of substrates; an electro-optical material sandwiched between the pair of substrates; a seal material disposed in a seal region located at the periphery of a region in which the electro-optical material is provided on the pair of substrates so as to bond the pair of substrates to each other, between the pair of substrates; a concave portion provided on one substrate of the pair of substrates; a coloring layer provided in the concave portion, an upper surface of the coloring layer facing the electro-optical material being formed nearer to the other substrate of the pair of substrates than a seal region surface overlapping with the seal material on the one substrate, wherein: the seal material includes a gap material which controls a gap between the pair of substrates, and when the thickness of the electro-optical material is G [μm] and the size of a step difference between the coloring layer upper surface and the seal region surface is d [μm], the following equation is satisfied: G+d≧ 2.0 μm.
