Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal device comprising: a pair of substrates with liquid crystal interposed therebetween; a first electrode formed above one of the pair of substrates; a second electrode disposed corresponding to a separate pixel region, an electric field being generated between the first electrode and the second electrode; and an insulating layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the second electrode includes a plurality of first conductive sections which extend along a predetermined direction and which are disposed adjacent to each other, the second electrode including a second conductive section which connects the plurality of first conductive sections, the first electrode including at least one aperture within at least one region corresponding to a gap region between adjacent ones of the plurality of first conductive sections, and the at least one aperture is located asymmetrically in, as opposed to being aligned at a midpoint of, the corresponding gap region in the predetermined direction.
