Patent ID: 7088416

Claim:
A liquid crystal device including a pair of substrates which are bonded by a sealing material and a driving region which is formed inside the sealing material, and comprising: a liquid crystal layer which is disposed between the pair of substrates and is surrounded by the sealing material; spacers which are dispersed in the sealing material; and electrodes, provided on a liquid crystal layer side of one of the substrates, including portions forming the driving region, wiring lines which overlap the sealing material at one side of the driving region while supplying a potential to the portions forming the driving region, and dummy patterns which are disposed at another side of the driving region while being connected to the portions forming the driving region, the dummy patterns include at least one first part and at least one second part, the first part includes a first prong and a second prong spaced apart from the first prong; the first prong, the second prong, and the second part each have the same width and are equally spaced apart from each other; one of the first parts is bordered by two different second parts and one of the second parts is bordered by two different first parts; the first part and the second part overlap the sealing material; and the width of each of the second part, the first prong, and the second prong is smaller than the portion of the electrodes forming the driving regions.
