Patent ID: 7545475

Claim:
A liquid crystal device, comprising: a pair of substrates disposed to face each other; a liquid crystal layer held between the pair of substrates; and an aggregate including a plurality of spacers disposed between the pair of the substrates to retain a uniform gap between the pair of the substrates, wherein the aggregate is divided into a plurality of spacer groups, one unit of which is configured with the spacers linearly disposed in close proximity to each other, and the respective spacer groups are disposed with a density which prevents low temperature bubbles from occurring, one pixel is constituted by a plurality of single-color sub-pixels, and an interval between the spacers disposed in close proximity corresponds to a width of the one sub-pixel, and each of the spacer groups is away from the spacer groups neighboring in a lateral direction at intervals of not less than 5 sub-pixels and not more than 17 sub-pixels, and is away from the spacer groups neighboring in a vertical direction at intervals of not less than 1 sub-pixel and not more than 4 sub-pixels.
