Liquid crystal device and projector

Abstract

Provided is a liquid crystal device including: a plurality of data Lines and a plurality of scanning lines which cross each other; switching elements which are provided in correspondence with intersections between the data lines and the scanning lines; pixel electrodes connected to the switching elements; pixels configured in correspondence with the pixel electrodes; an image display region configured by the plurality of pixels; a first substrate having at least the switching elements; a second substrate which faces the first substrate; and liquid crystal interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein light incident from the first substrate is modulated by the liquid crystal, a light-shielding film is provided on a light incident side of at least the switching elements of the first substrate, and at least a portion corresponding to the image display region of the second substrate includes only a transparent layer which transmits light incident to the liquid crystal.
