The present invention provides a manufacturing method or a structure capable of reducing occurrence of sealing defects and breaking defects by resolving defects in form of a joined area between a sealing material and an anisotropic conductive material. A sealing material () is formed in such a manner as to superimpose ends () on alignment marks () formed on the surface of a first substrate (), an anisotropic conductive material is formed in such a manner as to superimpose endson alignment marks () formed on the surface of a second substrate (), and the sealing materialand the anisotropic conductive material () are joined by bonding the first substrate () and the second substrate () to form one-piece sealing section ().

Liquid crystal device and manufacturing method therefor

In a liquid crystal panelprovided with first and second substratesandbonded by a sealant, alignment layersandfor covering electrodesA andA, respectively, are formed up to the regions overlapping the regions for forming up to. Accordingly, since there is no space between the alignmentorand the sealant, a low twist domain does not occur in a liquid crystal. Therefore, the vicinity of the inner periphery of the sealant can also be effectively used as the region for displaying images.

LCD and method of manufacture thereof

This invention relates to a two-layer display type of electronic equipment having a liquid crystal panel (,) and a background display portion (,) on a rear surface side thereof. The liquid crystal panel (,) has a main liquid crystal panel unit (,) formed by inserting a liquid crystal layer (,) between a first substrate (,) and a second substrate (,). The liquid crystal layer (,) is set to either a light-transmitting state or a light-scattering state by an electrical field that is applied to the liquid crystal. This liquid crystal panel (,) has a transparent layer (,) on the rear surface of the second substrate (,). If the refractive index of this transparent layer (,) is n,, the refractive index of the second substrate (,) in contact with the front side of this transparent layer is n,, and the refractive index of the air layer in contact with the rear side of the transparent layer (,) is n,, the following relationship is established: n,<n,<n,.
