Abstract
Regarding a liquid crystal device having a structure in which electrodes formed on a pair of substrates are subjected to conductive connection using a conductive member, the outer dimensions can be reduced despite the use of the conductive member, and a complicated pattern design including cross wiring and the like can be employed for the electrode patterns formed on the pair of substrates. A liquid crystal device is formed by joining a first substrate comprising first electrodes and external joining elements and a second substrate comprising second electrodes by an annular sealing member . The sealing member includes a conductive section having the function of conductive connection and a non-conductive section having no function of conductive connection, and the second electrodes on the second substrate are individually subjected to conductive connection to the terminals on the first substrate via the conductive section of the sealing member . The non-conductive section does not have the function of conductive connection, so that the first electrodes and the second electrodes can be subjected to cross wiring at that section.
