Liquid crystal device and electronic apparatus

A liquid crystal device comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate that is bonded to the first substrate with pillar-shaped spacers interposed therebetween;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer that is provided between the first substrate and the second substrate,
• the first substrate including:
• light shielding portions;
• wiring lines;
• switching elements that are connected to the wiring lines;
• an insulating film that has contact holes each formed at a position corresponding to a portion of the switching element and covers the light shielding portions, the wiring lines, and the switching elements;
• and
• pixel electrodes each of which includes a plurality of unit electrode portions and connecting portions for connecting the unit electrode portions, and which are formed on the insulating film to be connected to the switching elements through the contact holes,
• wherein each light shielding portion has a size larger than that of the spacer, and is formed between the connecting portion of one pixel electrode and another pixel electrode adjacent thereto, and
• the spacer is arranged on the insulating film to overlap the light shielding portion.

• a reflective film that is formed in a portion of an pixel region on the insulating film;
• and
• pixel electrodes each of which includes a plurality of unit electrode portions, a first connecting portion for connecting the unit electrode portions, and a second connecting portion that extends from one outer side of the unit electrode portion to the contact hole to be connected to the switching element through the contact hole, and is formed on the reflective film and the insulating film in each pixel region,
• wherein each light shielding portion has a size larger than that of the spacer, and is formed between the first connecting portion of one pixel electrode and another pixel electrode adjacent thereto, and
• the spacer is arranged on the insulating film to overlap the light shielding portion.
