Abstract:
A manufacturing method includes providing a structural element that provides a predetermined gap between a first substrate and a second substrate to at least one of the first and second substrates, forming an alignment film on each of the first and second substrates, and subjecting the alignment film formed on each of the first and second substrates to a rubbing process. The structural element is formed after the alignment film is formed and before or after the rubbing process is performed.

Abstract:
An optical device includes: at least two protrusions on a first substrate; a sealing material filled between the two protrusions; a second substrate attached so as to face and touch the first substrate through the sealing material; and a liquid crystal material injected between the first substrate and second substrate.
Abstract:
A common electrode for a display used both in driving the display and touch detection. An existing common drive signal both as a drive signal for the touch sensor. A capacitance is formed between the common electrode and a touch sensor electrode. Touch detection is performed by utilizing a change of this capacitance caused by a finger touch of a user. The display device with a touch sensor can be used in a mobile device.

Abstract:
A display device includes a display portion and an opening portion. In the display portion, pixels having different optical characteristics are arranged. The opening portion is arranged so as to face a display surface side of the display portion and causes a light from the display portion to pass in a predetermined direction. With respect to the pixels having the different optical characteristics in the display portion, the pixels having the same color are located in the opening portion.
Abstract:
A common electrode for a display, which is originally provided in a liquid crystal display element, is also used as one (drive electrode) of a pair of electrodes for a touch sensor, and the other (detection-electrode-for-the-sensor) of the pair of electrodes is newly formed. An existing common drive signal as a drive signal for display is used in common for a drive signal for the touch sensor. A capacitance is formed between the common electrode and the detection-electrode-for-the-sensor, and touch detection is performed by utilizing a change of this capacitance caused by a finger touch of a user. Thus, a display device with a touch sensor is also applicable to a mobile device in which electric potential of the user is inconstant in many cases. The newly-provided electrode is only the detection-electrode-for-the-sensor, and it is unnecessary to newly prepare a drive signal for the touch sensor.

Abstract:
An image display apparatus including an image display section that displays a two-dimensional image; and a variable lens array that includes a first substrate having a first electrode, a second substrate having a second electrode, and a liquid crystal layer which is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The value of the refractive power of each lens line thereof is changed by a voltage which is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode. The variable lens array is disposed to be opposed to the image display section. Wall-shaped or columnar spacers are provided in a place, in which an orientation direction of liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer is unchanged when the value of the refractive power of each lens line thereof is changed, between the first substrate and the second substrate of the variable lens array.
