Abstract

A method for manufacturing an electro-optic device including: a display surface; a plurality of pixels including at least a first pixel for forming a first image and a second pixel for forming a second image and emitting light toward the display surface; a filter that allows, of the light, light emitted from the first pixel to a first range through the display surface to pass through, and light emitted from the second pixel to a second range through the display surface to pass through; and a substrate between the plurality of pixels and the filter. The method includes: providing the filter on the substrate, with the distance between the substrate and the filter kept at a distance set according to the thickness of the substrate.

Claims (30)

1. A method for manufacturing an electro-optic device comprising:

a display surface;

a plurality of pixels including at least a first pixel for forming a first image and a second pixel for forming a second image, the pixels emitting light toward the display surface;

a filter section that allows, of the light, light emitted from the first pixel to a first range through the display surface to pass through, and light emitted from the second pixel to a second range through the display surface to pass through; and

a substrate between the plurality of pixels and the filter section;

the method comprising:

providing the filter section on the substrate, with a distance between the substrate and the filter section kept at a distance set according to the thickness of the substrate.

2. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 1 , wherein

in providing the filter section on the substrate, the substrate and the filter section are bonded together with an adhesive.

3. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 2 , wherein:

in providing the filter section on the substrate, the distance between the substrate and the filter section is kept at the distance according to the amount of the adhesive.

4. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 1 , the method further comprising:

providing a spacer layer for controlling the distance on at least one of the substrate and the filter section before providing the filter section on the substrate.

5. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 4 , wherein

in providing the spacer layer, the spacer layer is disposed on the substrate.

6. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 4 , wherein

in providing the spacer layer, the spacer layer is disposed on the filter section.

7. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 1 , the method further comprising:

decreasing the thickness of the substrate before providing the filter section on the substrate.

8. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 7 , wherein:

the plurality of pixels are disposed between the substrate and a second substrate joined to the substrate in such a manner as to be opposed to the substrate; and

in decreasing the thickness of the substrate, the substrate is decreased in thickness, with the second substrate joined to the substrate.

9. The method for manufacturing the electro-optic device according to claim 1 , the method further comprising:

measuring the thickness of the substrate before providing the filter section on the substrate.

10. An electro-optic device comprising:

a display surface;

a plurality of pixels including at least a first pixel for forming a first image and a second pixel for forming a second image and emitting light toward the display surface;

a filter section that allows, of the light, light emitted from the first pixel to a first range through the display surface to pass through, and light emitted from the second pixel to a second range through the display surface to pass through;

a substrate between the plurality of pixels and the filter section; and

a spacer layer between the substrate and the filter section, the spacer layer controlling a distance between the substrate and the filter section.
