Patent ID: 6963384

Claim:
An electro-optic device comprising a first substrate and a second substrate arranged in an opposed relation, said device further comprising: an electro-optic layer supported between said first substrate and said second substrate; a first electrode formed on said first substrate; a second electrode formed on said second substrate; and a first terminal formed on said second substrate and connected to said first electrode, said first electrode including a drive portion for applying an electric field to said electro-optic layer, and an inter-substrate conducting terminal portion connected to said drive portion and said first terminal, said second electrode including a drive portion for applying an electric field to said electro-optic layer, and a second terminal connected to said drive portion, said first and second terminals being arranged to lie side by side along one side of said second substrate such that said second terminal is located on the outer side relative to said first terminal, and said second electrode being made of at least a material having a lower electrical resistance than that of said first electrode.
