Patent ID: 8130344

Claim:
A liquid crystal device comprising: a pair of substrates which are formed of a first substrate and a second substrate disposed to face each other; a liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched between the pair of substrates; a color filter layer which is formed on the second substrate and has at least a first coloration layer for transmitting light of a first wavelength region and a second coloration layer for transmitting light of a second wavelength region on a longer wavelength side than the first wavelength region; first electrodes each of which is formed on the first substrate and has at least a first pixel electrode disposed on a first sub-pixel region corresponding to a planar region of the first coloration layer and a second pixel electrode disposed on a second sub-pixel region corresponding to a planar region of the second coloration layer; and second electrodes each of which faces each first electrode with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween, wherein any one electrode of each first electrode and each second electrode has a plurality of band-like portions which are arranged at predetermined intervals in parallel to each other in the first and second sub-pixel regions, wherein a layer thickness of the liquid crystal layer within the first sub-pixel region is smaller than a layer thickness of the liquid crystal layer within the second sub-pixel region, wherein a width of each band-like portion within the first sub-pixel region is smaller than a width of each band-like portion within the second sub-pixel region, wherein the predetermined intervals within the first sub-pixel region are smaller than the predetermined intervals within the second sub-pixel region, and wherein a layer thickness of the dielectric layer within the first sub-pixel region is smaller than a layer thickness of the dielectric layer within the second sub-pixel region.
