A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substantially parallel substrates disposed opposite to each other to leave a gap extending two-dimensionally therebetween including a rectangular wider gap region and a peripheral frame-shaped narrower gap region surrounding the wider gap region, a plurality of spacers disposed in the gap over the wider and narrower gap regions, and a liquid crystal disposed between the pair of substrates so as to form pixels in the wider gap region. The spacers are disposed to have a larger volume per unit substrate area in the wider gap region and a smaller volume per unit substrate area in the narrower gap region, thus providing a uniform cell gap between the substrates.

Liquid crystal device

A method of producing an optical device, includes the steps of forming a space between an optical member and a first mold and a second mold by arranging the optical member between the first mold and the second mold, at least either the first or second mold is arranged to touch one surface of the optical member. A resin member is injected through an injection port provided with the first or second mold in the formed space.

Method of producing a photoelectric converting device

A photoelectric converting device having a guide member includes a plurality of photoelectric converting elements disposed to confront an original sheet the image information of which is to be read; a protection layer disposed on the photoelectric converting elements; a light transmissive substrate on which the photoelectric converting elements are disposed; and a flexible guide member disposed on the original-sheet supply side of the light transmissive substrate, the guide member being disposed in such a manner that at least a portion of the guide is positioned in contact with the edge surface of the light transmissive substrate.

A photoelectric converter includes a transparent substrate having a photoelectric converting element provided on a surface opposing a document relating to reading of image information, a transparent support for supporting the substrate, and a light source provided on a surface of the support opposite to a supporting surface for the substrate. Light emitted from the light source is radiated on a document through the support and the substrate, and reflected light is received by the photoelectric converting element.

A semiconductor device comprising a pair of first and second opposing conductors and a lamination of a semiconductor layer and an insulating layer held between, and joined together, the first and second conductors, respectively. The average potential of the second conductor joined to the insulating layer relative to the average potential of the first conductor joined to the semiconductor layer is set so as to have such a direction that the supply of carriers from the first conductor to the semiconductor layer is prevented.
