A liquid crystal device includes display pixels corresponding to at least a color of white or non-coloring and one color different from the color of white or non-coloring. Each of the display pixels corresponding to one color have a transmissive region and a reflective region. Each of the display pixels corresponding to the color of white or non-coloring have only a transmissive region. Colored layers are provided in the display pixels that correspond to one color, and cell-thickness-adjusting layers are included in the reflective region of each of the display pixels corresponding to one color and the transmissive region of each of the display pixels corresponding to the color of white or non-coloring. For the display pixels corresponding to one color, a thickness of a layer crystal layer corresponding to the transmissive region is larger than a thickness of the liquid crystal layer that corresponds to the reflective region.
