Patent ID: 6897912

Claim:
A liquid crystal device comprising: a pair of substrates holding a liquid crystal therebetween; a light guide provided opposite to one of the substrates, the light guide having a light receiving surface including a recessed portion formed therein; a flexible substrate connected to one of the substrates and having a bent shape with an inner surface on an inner side of the bent shape; and a light emitting device mounted on the flexible substrate and the flexible substrate being bent around a light receiving surface of the light guide, the light emitting device disposed on the inner surface of the flexible substrate; wherein a light emitting surface of the light emitting device includes a light emission point and a projection portion, the light emission point confronting the light receiving surface, the projection portion being disposed at a position other than where the light emission point confronts the light receiving surface of the light guide, and the bent shape of the flexible substrate locates the projection portion of the light emitting surface in the recessed portion of the light receiving surface for mounting the light emitting device to the light receiving surface of the light guide.
