Patent ID: 7999889

Claim:
A display device comprising: a pair of substrates placed so as oppose each other; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on one of the pair of substrates; a counter electrode formed on the other of the pair of substrates; a modulation layer provided between the plurality of pixel electrodes and the counter electrode, the modulation layer being capable of switching states between a transmitting state in which light is transmitted and a scattering state in which light is scattered, a plurality of switching elements formed on the one substrate and electrically connected respectively to corresponding pixel electrodes; a plurality of wiring lines disposed on the one substrate and at intervals from the plurality of pixel electrodes; and a diffraction preventing layer, for reducing diffraction, disposed in the intervals between the wiring lines and the pixel electrodes, wherein the diffraction preventing layer comprises a photosensitive resin that is patternable via photolithography.
