Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In an electro-optical device, an electro-optical material is doubly sealed with a first seal member and a second seal member. In the second seal member, first particles are located in a gap between a first substrate and a second substrate, and second particles are located outside of the gap between the first substrate and the second substrate, so as to cover the opening of the gap.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electro-optical device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate; an electro-optical material retained between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first seal member combining the first substrate and the second substrate together and sealing the electro-optical material; and a second seal member formed along an outer periphery of the first seal member and containing a plurality of first particles a…
