Patent ID: 8643814

Claim:
A liquid crystal device comprising: an element substrate having a one surface, a plurality of pixel electrodes being arranged on the one surface forming an image display region; a counter substrate; a common electrode formed on the counter substrate to which a common potential is applied; a sealing member which bonds the element substrate and the counter substrate; and a liquid crystal layer held in a region surrounded by the sealing member between the element substrate and the counter substrate, wherein the one surface of the element substrate includes a plurality of conductive patterns formed of a conductive film in a peripheral region between the image display region and the sealing member, the conductive patterns formed at a same layer as the plurality of pixel electrodes, an insulation film formed on a side facing the counter substrate so as to correspond to the plurality of conductive patterns and the plurality of pixel electrodes, and peripheral electrodes to which a potential different from the common potential is applied, the peripheral electrodes formed in a region overlapping the plurality of conductive patterns in a plan view on a side on which the counter substrate is located so as to correspond to the insulation film in the peripheral region.
