Abstract
A liquid crystal device includes a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal layer held between the substrates and containing a liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy. The liquid crystal layer includes subpixels, each including a plurality of transmissive display regions and a reflective display region that are arranged in a predetermined direction. The transmissive display regions are disposed at the ends of each subpixel in the direction in which the transmissive and reflective display regions are arranged. The liquid crystal device further includes a thickness-adjusting layer disposed between at least one of the substrates and the liquid crystal layer so that the liquid crystal layer is thinner in the reflective display region than in the transmissive display regions.
