Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates, wherein the first substrate includes a first electrode, a second electrode for generating an electric field between with the first electrode, and a reflection layer, and the second substrate includes a plurality of coloring layers, an alignment layer, and a retardation layer, a transmissive display area for performing transmissive display by transmitting the light introduced into the liquid crystal layer from the first substrate side to the second substrate side and a reflective display area for performing reflective display by reflecting the light introduced into the liquid crystal layer from the second substrate side to the second substrate side by the reflection layer are provided in a sub pixel area corresponding to the area in which the first electrode of the first substrate and the second substrate are overlapped with each other, a retardation of the liquid crystal layer in the reflective display area is different from that of the liquid crystal layer in the transmissive display area, the retardation layer is provided between the liquid crystal layer and the second substrate and at a position at least corresponding to the reflective display area, the alignment layer is provided between the retardation layer and the liquid crystal layer, and a protection layer positioned in the reflective display area and provided between the retardation layer and the alignment layer includes a slit at a position corresponding to between the reflective display area provided in any of the sub pixel area and the other reflective display area provided in the other sub pixel area adjacent each other in a predetermined direction with respect to the any of the sub pixel area.
