Patent attributes
The electro-optical device includes a first substrate including a plurality of pixel electrodes, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and an electro-optical layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate is provided with a spacer protruding from a position overlapping with a portion between adjacent pixel electrodes toward the second substrate, and an insulating protective film is provided between the spacer and the pixel electrode. The spacer is made of a metal material such as titanium nitride, and a surface of the spacer is covered with an insulating film. A first oriented film overlaps the spacer with the insulating film interposed therebetween. The first substrate is formed with a recessed portion that is recessed toward a substrate body, and a root portion of the spacer is embedded in the recessed portion.
