Abstract
Spacers are disposed at only positions corresponding to positions of pixels of one of the color layers, thereby widening the spacing at which the substrates are supported, the planar spacing between the spacers being widened to 5 pixels in the horizontal direction and 2 pixels in the vertical direction, thereby causing the substrates to flex so as to track a dimensional change in the gap that accompanies a temperature change in the liquid crystal between the substrates.
