Patent ID: 7142275

Claim:
An electro-optic device comprising: an electro-optic material disposed between a pair of substrates; wherein the electro-optic material is sealed in a material-sealed region in which a reflecting electrode is formed on one of the substrates, the reflecting electrode having a laminated structure including: an underlying conductive layer formed of a conductive metal oxide laminated on one of the substrates; a reflective conductive layer formed on one of silver and a silver alloy laminated on the underlying conductive layer; and a transparent conductive layer laminated on the reflective conductive layer and the underlying conductive layer; and external wiring provided outside the material-sealed region to conductively connect to the reflecting electrode, the external wiring comprising the the underlying conductive layer formed directly on the transparent conductive layer; wherein the transparent conductive layer is thinner than the underlying conductive layer.
