Patent ID: 8654283

Claim:
An electro-optical device comprising: a pair of substrates; an electro-optical material interposed between the pair of substrates; a photo-curable seal member disposed between the pair of substrates so as to bond the pair of substrates together; and a plurality of light-shielding layers formed so as to overlap via an interlayer dielectric, in plan view from above one of the substrates, wherein the one of the pair of substrates includes a pixel area in which a plurality of pixels are aligned, and a seal region defined around the pixel area and in which the seal member and the plurality of light-shielding layers are provided, one of the plurality of light-shielding layers is larger in an outer shape than another of the light-shielding layers formed at a level higher than the one of the plurality of light-shielding layers in the plan view from above the one of the substrates, the one of the plurality of light-shielding layers formed so as to completely overlap the another of the light-shielding layers in the seal region, and the plurality of light-shielding layers are arranged to provide a plurality of openings that each allow a light incident corresponding to a bottom side of the photo-curable seal member to reach the photo-curable seal member directly, such that a light incident corresponding to a top side of the photo-curable seal member and the light incident corresponding to the bottom side of the photo-curable seal member both reach the photo-curable seal member directly.
