Problems solved by technology

In addition, the relationship between the protrusion pattern T and various wirings cannot be considered at all.
Therefore, the improvement of the aperture ratio in the prior art is limited to reducing the light-shielding layer S1 in pixels without the protrusion pattern T.

Embodiment approach 1

[0052]

[0053] First, as the electro-optical device of the present invention, a liquid crystal device using liquid crystal as the electro-optical material will be described as an example. The liquid crystal device has a liquid crystal panel AA as the main part. The liquid crystal panel AA is a thin film transistor (Thin Film Transistor: hereinafter referred to as "TFT") as the switching element of the element substrate and the counter substrate facing each other with the electrodes formed facing each other and keeping a certain distance between them. Liquid crystal is clamped in the middle.

[0054] Hereinafter, the overall structure of the liquid crystal panel AA will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the liquid crystal panel AA, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line Z-Z' of FIG. 1.

[0055] As shown in these drawings, the structure of the liquid crystal panel AA is that the glass and se...

Embodiment approach 2

[0079] Next, the liquid crystal panel AA of the second embodiment will be described. This liquid crystal panel AA has the same structure as the liquid crystal panel AA of the first embodiment except for the arrangement of the protrusion pattern 10.

[0080] Fig. 9 is a plan view showing a detailed structure of the liquid crystal panel of the second embodiment. FIG. 10 is a schematic plan view showing the relationship among protrusion patterns, data lines, scanning lines, and light shielding layers of the same panel. As shown in these drawings, the protrusion pattern 10 is formed so that a part of it overlaps the scanning line 2. As described above, since the formation of the first light shielding layer 71 covers the scanning line 2, if a part of the protrusion pattern 10 is arranged to overlap the scanning line 2, the second light shielding layer 72 and the first light shielding layer 71 are in the area 73 overlapping. In other words, when a part or all of the protrusion pattern 1...

Embodiment approach 3

[0083] Next, the liquid crystal panel AA of Embodiment 3 will be described. This liquid crystal panel AA has the same structure as the liquid crystal panel AA of the first embodiment except for the arrangement of the protrusion pattern 10.

[0084] FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a detailed structure of a liquid crystal panel of Embodiment 3. FIG. As shown in this figure, the protrusion pattern 10 is formed so that a part of it overlaps the capacitor line 4. Generally, the flatness of the insulating film formed on the element substrate 151 is greatly dependent on the various patterns located below it. Therefore, if there are a plurality of patterns under the insulating film where the protrusion patterns 10 are arranged, the thickness of the insulating film is likely to be uneven in the given area. However, since the capacitor wire 4 has a thick line width and excellent flatness, the thickness and flatness of the insulating film on the upper portion thereof are good. Then, a part of...

Abstract

A light-shielding layer 70 includes a first light-shielding layer 71 and second light-shielding layers 72. The first light-shielding layer 71 is formed so as to overlap a plurality of scanning lines 2 and a plurality of data lines 3. Each of the second light-shielding layers 72 is provided on the downside of the direction of rubbing with respect to the corresponding projecting pattern 10. Each of the projecting patterns 10 is formed such that part thereof overlaps the corresponding data line 3. The second light-shielding layers 72 overlap the first light-shielding layer 71. All or part of each of the second light-shielding layers 72 can also function as the first light-shielding layer 71 to increase the area of an aperture.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electro-optical panel composed of two substrates and having a protrusion pattern that limits the distance between them, and an electronic device using the panel. Background technique [0002] There are active matrix types of liquid crystal panels using liquid crystals as electro-optical materials. This kind of liquid crystal panel has a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines, and the pixels are arranged in a matrix corresponding to the intersection of the data lines and the scanning lines. The pixel has a thin film transistor (Thin Film Transistor: hereinafter referred to as "TFT") used as a switching element, a pixel electrode, a liquid crystal, and a counter electrode sandwiched between the pixel electrode and the liquid crystal. If the scanning lines are sequentially selected, the TFTs connected to the scanning lines are turned on, the image signal supplied to the data lines enters the pixels, and th...
