Liquid crystal device and electronic apparatus

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a second substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer that is disposed between the first and second substrates and that contains liquid crystal that has a negative dielectric anisotropy;
• a dot region including a transmissive display region and a reflective display region;
• a film in between the first substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the film making the liquid crystal layer thinner in the reflective display region than in the transmissive display region;
• an electrode located in between the second substrate and the liquid crystal layer, the electrode including within the dot region a first electrode island, a second electrode island, and a connecting portion, the first electrode island being located in the transmissive display region, the second electrode island being located in the reflective display region, the connecting portion electrically connecting the first and second electrode islands together;
• a first alignment control device located within a region of the first electrode island in plan view, the first alignment control device controlling alignment of the liquid crystal when an electric voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer via the electrode;
• and
• a second alignment control device located within a region of the second electrode island in plan view, the second alignment control device controlling alignment of the liquid crystal when an electric voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer via the electrode, the second alignment control device having a smaller two-dimensional area in plan view than a two-dimensional area in plan view of the first alignment control device.
