Abstract
To provide a liquid crystal device in which the occurrence of disclination is efficiently suppressed in a dot area, thereby allowing a bright display and the alignment control of the liquid crystal molecules can be carried out by applying low voltage, a liquid crystal device includes: an array substrate having pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix and switching elements corresponding to the respective pixel electrodes formed on a surfaces of the array substrate, a counter substrate opposing the array substrate, a liquid crystal layer including negative dielectric anisotropy liquid crystal disposed between the array substrate and the counter substrate, and stripe alignment control electrodes disposed on the liquid crystal layer facing surface of the counter substrate, each alignment control electrode extending along the boundaries of the pixel electrodes in plan view.
