US Patent 7088416 Liquid crystal device having pronged dummy electrodes and electronic device

A liquid crystal device comprising a pair of substrates 3a and 3b which are bonded together by a sealing material 2, and a plurality of electrodes 9a and 9b which are formed on the inside surfaces of these substrates. The electrodes 9a have wiring lines 17a and 17b which pass through the sealing material 2 and extend to a substrate projecting part 4a, and dummy patterns 19a which pass through the sealing material 2 at the side opposite to the wiring lines 17a and 17b; dummy patterns 19a are formed with a width which is smaller than the width of the electrodes 9a inside the region surrounded by the sealing material 2; preferably, they are formed with the same width as the wiring lines 17a.
