    摘要: A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of electrode plates and a liquid crystal composition disposed between the electrode plates. One of the electrode plates comprises a light-transmissive substrate, a plurality of electrodes including principal electrodes and auxiliary electrodes supported on the light-transmissive substrate, a plurality of color filters disposed on the light-transmissive substrate and an insulating layer disposed on the color filters. Each auxiliary electrode is disposed between an associated principal electrode and the light-transmissive substrate so as to be electrically connected with at least a part of the associated principal electrode, and the auxiliary electrodes are disposed with spacings therebetween which are filled with the color filters and the insulating layer. The liquid crystal composition comprises at least one species of a fluorine-containing mesomorphic compound comprising a fluorocarbon terminal portion and a hydrocarbon terminal portion, the terminal portions being connected with a central core, and having smectic mesophase or latent smectic mesophase. The combination of the above specific cell structure and the specific liquid crystal composition is effective in improving display qualities (e.g., brightness and contrast) while minimizing a voltage waveform deformation.

    摘要: An electrode substrate is produced through at least the following steps of: forming a plurality of first electrodes on a light-transmissive substrate while leaving a spacing between the first electrodes, filling a resin in the spacing, curing the filled resin, and forming a plurality of second electrodes on the first electrodes and the resin so as to be in contact with the associated first electrodes, respectively. In the electrode substrate, the first electrodes have a thickness h (nm) and an average surface roughness d (nm) and the resin has a curing shrinkage ratio .alpha. (%). The thickness h, the average surface roughness d and the curing shrinkage ratio a satisfies the following relationship: d.gtoreq..alpha..multidot.h/1000. A liquid crystal device is produced by using the electrode substrate satisfying the above relationship, whereby a ripple-shaped shrinkage due to a shrinkage of the resin can be prevented in an effective optical modulation region to minimize a cell gap unevenness and provide a uniform alignment state to liquid crystal molecules, thus suppressing occurrences of an ununiform optical state, crosstalk and an irregularity in drive characteristics to improve display qualities.

    摘要: A circuit plate, suitable for constituting an optical modulation device, such as a liquid crystal device, includes a light-transmissive substrate, and a plurality of principal electrodes and sub-electrodes supported on the light-transmissive substrate. Each sub-electrode is disposed between an associated principal electrode and the light-transmissive substrate so as to be electrically connected with the associated principal electrode. The plurality of sub-electrodes are disposed in a region in the light-transmissive substrate with gaps therebetween which are filled with an insulating layer, the sub-electrodes and the insulating layer in combination forming a surface on which the principal electrodes are formed. Further, a plurality of projection pieces are disposed in a region on the light-transmissive substrate outside the region of the sub-electrodes so as to be free from connection with the principal electrodes and the sub-electrodes. A liquid crystal device may be formed by disposing a liquid crystal between a pair of the circuit plates. The circuit plate is provided with an improved planarity over the entire effective optical modulation region and an improved connectability with peripheral ICs.

    摘要: An electrode plate is constituted by a substrate, a plurality of metal electrodes formed with gaps therebetween in a prescribed pattern on the substrate, and a resin filling the gaps. The substrate is provided with an elongated projection disposed in a peripheral region thereof. The elongated projection formed on the substrate is effective in preventing the resin from flowing out from the sides of the substrate, thus suppressing an insufficient filling portion in the gaps between the metal electrode to provide a uniform and smooth surface of the resin and the metal electrode in combination.
