Abstract:
A liquid crystal device, comprising:a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a first insulation film; a second insulation film; and a scanning signal line, an image signal line, a first electrode, a second electrode and an active element formed on a face of said second substrate on a side of said liquid crystal layer, said first electrode and said second electrode being formed so that an electric field substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate with respect to said liquid crystal layer can be applied thereto, the second electrode being formed substantially over all of a display area of the liquid crystal device with the first insulation film interposed therebetween so as to cover said scanning signal line, said image signal line and said active element, and having an opening, said first electrode being formed in each of pixels in a linear shape having a specified line width on said second electrode with the second insulation film interposed therebetween, said first electrode and said active element being connected through the opening of said second electrode, and at least one of said first electrode and said second electrode operating as a reflecting electrode that causes incident light coming from a direction of said first substrate.
