In an electro-optical apparatus, such as a liquid crystal apparatus using a UV-ray curable sealing member, the remnants of non-cured portions in the sealing member is prevented. The liquid crystal apparatus has a structure in which a UV-ray shielding member or a film member, such as an overcoat formed on an opposing-side substrate and a frame-shaped light shielding member formed on a device-side substrate, is placed within the outer frame portion of the liquid crystal apparatus in an neighboring state to the sealing member. The outer periphery portions of the overcoat and the frame-shaped light shielding member corresponding to the corner portion of the sealing member are formed in a curved shape or a shape having obtuse angles such as an arc. By doing so, a gap between the sealing member and the overcoat, and a gap between the sealing member and the frame-shaped light shielding member, are broadened at the comer portion, so that the sealing member can be prevented from being shielded from UV-rays by the overcoat or the frame-shaped light shielding member, and therefore can be prevented from remaining in a non-cured state. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is an object of the present invention, in an electro-optical apparatus such as a liquid crystal apparatus having a structure in which a UV-ray shielding member or a film member such as an overcoat and a frame-shaped light shielding member is formed adjacent to a sealing member, that the entire sealing member can be securely cured by irradiation of UV-rays to avoid the non-cured portions thereof remaining, even when the outer-frame area of the apparatus is reduced.
(1) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an electro-optical apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a UV-ray curable sealing member having at least one comer portion; a pair of substrates bonded together by the sealing member; and a UV-ray shielding member formed on one of the pair of substrates, wherein the portion of the outer periphery of said UV-ray shielding member corresponding to the comer portion of the sealing member is formed in a curved shape or in a shape having obtuse angles.
In accordance with the above-mentioned configuration of the present invention, when the outer periphery of the UV-ray shielding member corresponding to the comer portion of the sealing member is formed in a curved shape which is not rectangular with sharp comers or in a shape having obtuse angles like a beveled shape, a sufficient gap between the sealing member and the UV-ray shielding member can be provided so that UV-rays directed at the sealing member can be prevented from being blocked by the UV-ray shielding member, resulting in sufficient prevention of any of the sealing member remaining in a non-cured state.
(2) An electro-optical apparatus described in paragraph (1) according to the present invention further comprises a film member formed on the other of the pair of substrates, wherein the portion of the outer periphery of the film member corresponding to the comer portion of the sealing member is formed in a curved shape or in a shape having obtuse angles
