Liquid crystal device and electronic apparatus

A liquid crystal device capable of simultaneously displaying at least two images in different directions, the liquid crystal device comprising:

• a first substrate having a translucent property;
• a second substrate having a translucent property which is disposed opposite to the first substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer with an orientation direction, the liquid crystal layer being is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer having a twist angle of approximately ninety degrees;
• a first polarizing plate with a first absorption axis, the first polarizing plate being opposed to the liquid crystal layer with the first substrate being disposed between the first polarizing plate and the liquid crystal layer;
• a first film interposed between the first substrate and the first polarizing plate, the first film having an orientation axis that is substantially aligned with the first absorption axis of the first polarizing plate, the first film containing discotic polymer liquid crystal with a hybrid orientation;
• and
• a second film interposed between the second substrate and the second polarizing plate, the second film having an orientation axis that is substantially aligned with the second absorption axis of the second polarizing plate, the second film containing discotic polymer liquid crystal with a hybrid orientation;
• and
• a second polarizing plate with a second absorption axis, the second polarizing plate being opposed to the liquid crystal layer with the second substrate being disposed between the second polarizing plate and the liquid crystal layer,
• wherein the first absorption axis of the first polarizing plate and orientation axis of the first film are shifted from the orientation direction of the liquid crystal layer by an angle of approximately two degrees, and
• wherein the second absorption axis of the second polarizing plate and the orientation axis of the second film are shifted from the orientation direction of the liquid crystal layer by an angle of approximately two degrees.
