Abstract: A liquid crystal device 10 includes: a pair of substrates made up of a first substrate 11 and a second substrate 12 arranged facing each other; and a liquid crystal layer 14 interposed between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12. The liquid crystal device 10 does not have a liquid crystal alignment film formed on both the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12. The second substrate 12 has a spacer 15a extending toward the first substrate 11 and the first substrate 11 has a suppressing part for mitigating the misalignment in the liquid crystal layer 14 due to the movement of the tip of the spacer 15s.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device 10 includes: a pair of substrates including a first substrate 11 and a second substrate 12 arranged to face each other; and a liquid crystal layer 14 that is arranged between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12. This liquid crystal device 10 is configured such that, among the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, a liquid crystal alignment film 13 is formed on the liquid crystal layer 14-side surface of the first substrate 11, but no liquid crystal alignment film is formed on the liquid crystal layer 14-side surface of the second substrate 12.
