Abstract

The invention mitigates a drop of a protective layer and reduces disconnection of an electrode. A shading layer, a partition layer to partition a color filter layer, formed on the shading layer, and a protective layer to seal the shading layer, the partition layer and the color filter layer, are arranged on a substrate. At least a part of the partition layer covers the shading layer and separates the protective layer from the shading layer under a non-contact state.

Claims (16)

1. An electro-optical apparatus, comprising:

a substrate;

a shading layer above the substrate;

a color filter layer;

a partition layer to partition the color filter layer, formed on said shading layer;

an electrode layer formed above said partition layer; and

a protective layer formed between the electrode layer and the partition layer to seal said shading layer, said partitioning layer and said color filter layer;

at least a part of said partition layer covering a first face and a second face of said shading layer, the second face of said shading layer contacting said color filter layer and said partition layer separating said protective layer from said shading layer under a non-contact state.

2. The electro-optical apparatus as defined in claim 1 , further including a plurality of shading layers and a plurality of partition layers arranged with predetermined gaps, said partition layers covering said shading layers being positioned at arranged end portions.

3. The electro-optical apparatus as defined in claim 1 , said shading layer being formed of a metal material, and said partition layer and said protective layer being formed of a synthetic resin material.

4. An electronic appliance, comprising:

the electro-optical apparatus as defined in claim 1 .

5. A method of producing an electro-optical apparatus that includes a substrate, a shading layer above the substrate; a color filter layer, a partition layer to partition the color filter layer, formed on said shading layer; an electrode layer formed above said partition layer; and a protective layer formed between the electrode layer and the partition layer to seal said shading layer, said partition layer and said color filter layer, said method comprising;

covering a first face and a second face of said shading layer with at least a part of said partition layer;

contacting the second face of said shading layer with said color filter layer; and

separating said protective layer from said shading layer under a non-contact state.
