Abstract:
A liquid crystal device comprising:a pair of first and second transparent substrates; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates; a transparent electrode formed on a face of the first substrate on the side of the liquid crystal layer; a reflective electrode formed on a face of the second substrate on the side of the liquid crystal layer and having an oblong slit; and an illumination unit provided at the opposite side of the second substrate on which the liquid crystal layer is provided; wherein the reflective electrode comprises a plurality of stripe electrodes at a predetermined gap and the slit extends in the longitudinal direction of the reflective electrode; and wherein the transparent electrode comprises a plurality of stripe electrodes at a predetermined gap in the direction perpendicular to the reflective electrode and the slit is disposed in a pixel region where the transparent electrode intersects the reflective electrode.
