Abstract
In a liquid crystal device, three semi-spherical protrusions are fixed on an inner surface of a bottom wall of a spacer. These protrusions are in contact with an outer surface of an elongated sheet portion of an electrode sheet for the liquid crystal device. The protrusions form an isosceles triangle so that the electrode sheet is supported at three points. Each elastic member is held between the elongated sheet portion of the electrode sheet and a top wall of a frame at a position facing each protrusion.
