Liquid crystal device and electronic apparatus

A liquid crystal device, comprising:

• a pair of substrates composed of an element substrate and a counter substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer that is held between the pair of substrates;
• wherein
• a data line and a scanning line are provided on the element substrate in a manner to be orthogonal to each other,
• a plurality of pixels including a switching element that is electrically connected to the data line and the scanning line are arranged in matrix,
• a first electrode and a second electrode that applies an electric field generated between the second electrode and the first electrode to the liquid crystal layer are provided on the element substrate,
• a common potential is supplied to the first electrode,
• an image signal potential from the data line is supplied to the second electrode via the switching element,
• the second electrode includes a plurality of openings that extend in directions parallel with each other, and
• among a plurality of electrode parts adjacent to the openings, a width, in an alignment direction of the plurality of electrode parts, of the electrode part positioned on an outermost side in the alignment direction is smaller than a width, in the alignment direction, of the rest of the electrode parts.
