Abstract:
A liquid crystal device, comprising:a pair of substrates; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched by the pair of substrates, at least one substrate of the pair of substrates being provided with a plurality of electrodes to drive the liquid crystal layer, such that: where a twist angle &thgr; of the liquid crystal layer sandwiched by the pair of substrates is in a range of &thgr;&lE;90Â°, and d is a layer thickness of the liquid crystal layer, then alignment treatment in a direction corresponding to the twist angle is applied onto each of the pair of substrates in such a manner that, in a state that no voltage is applied, a direction of the long axis of a liquid crystal molecule positioned (Â¼)d high from a surface of the one substrate is oriented to a direction that is perpendicular to a direction in which a space between the electrodes adjacent to each other extends.
