Patent ID: 8203663

Claim:
A liquid crystal device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate that is optically transparent; a liquid crystal layer that is provided between the first and second substrates; a plurality of pixel electrodes, the plurality of pixel electrodes reflecting light and being provided between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer; a translucent electrode that is provided between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer; and a reflective layer that is provided close to the first substrate rather than the plurality of pixel electrodes so as to overlap, in plan view, at least a part of a gap between a first pixel electrode of the plurality of pixel electrodes and a second pixel electrode of the plurality of pixel electrodes adjacent to the first pixel electrode, the cross-section of the reflective layer in a direction along which the first and second pixel electrodes are adjacent to each other having a concave surface that is dented toward a side opposite to the liquid crystal layer.
