ELECTROOPTICAL DEVICE AND IMAGE PRINTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrooptical device capable of allowing a convex lens to be readily positioned on a light emitting panel and readily raising an effect of preventing a light from a light emitting device from being inadequately incident on the convex lens. SOLUTION: This electrooptical device 10 comprises the light emitting panel 12 having the plurality of light emitting devices 14 arranged therein, a microlens array panel 16, and a spacer 20 having a light shading property made of a member different from that of each of the above components. In the microlens array panel 16, the plurality of convex lenses 18 for deflecting the light emitted from each light emitting device 14 are arranged to be respectively opposite to the light emitting devices 14 and the convex lenses 18 are integrally formed. The spacer 20 is disposed between the light emitting panel 12 and the microlens array panel 16 to be in contact therewith. Through-holes each being positioned between each of light emitting devices 14 and the respective convex lens 18 are formed on the spacer 20. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
