Electro-optical device, color filter substrate and electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗A reflective layer 212 having an aperture 212 a for each pixel is formed on a first substrate 211 , and a colored layer 214 for constituting a color filter is formed thereon. A surface protection layer 215 is formed on the colored layer 214 , and a transparent electrode 216 is formed further thereon. The colored layer 214 is constituted so as to cover the aperture 212 a in a two-dimensional direction, but overlaps only a part of a reflection surface in the pixel in a two-dimensional direction.
