Abstract: A liquid crystal device includes a pixel electrode, a peripheral electrode that is arranged between an outer edge of a display region in which the pixel electrode is arranged and a sealing material, a control electrode that is arranged between the outer edge of the display region and the peripheral electrode, a common electrode that is provided on a facing substrate, and an orientation film that substantially vertically orients liquid crystal molecules in a liquid crystal layer on the control electrode. In a display period during which the pixel electrode is driven, a potential that is lower than a potential of the common electrode is supplied to the peripheral electrode, and an AC potential with reference to the potential of the common electrode is supplied to the control electrode. In a non-display period during which the pixel electrode is not driven, no potential is supplied to the control electrode.

Abstract: In a projection type display apparatus, a lighting device includes two reflection type cutoff filters (first cutoff filter and reflective second cutoff filter) which block out ultraviolet range light on an output optical path from a light source. A cut on wavelength of the second cutoff filter on the front side is longer than that of the first cutoff filter on the rear side. The two cutoff filters are formed on planar-shaped first faces of a first integrator lens and a second integrator lens. For this reason, both input faces of the two cutoff filters are orthogonal to an apparatus optical axis.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal device, pixel electrodes and a common electrode that opposes the pixel electrodes on another side of a liquid crystal layer are formed in a display region serving as a first region, and dummy pixel electrodes serving as first electrodes are formed in a dummy pixel region serving as a second region. A driving method for the liquid crystal device applies a voltage that is lower than a threshold voltage at which the transmissibility of liquid crystals changes between the dummy pixel electrodes and the common electrode. Accordingly, the dummy pixel electrodes can function as an electricity parting portion and ionic impurities can be pulled from the display region to the dummy pixel electrodes.
