To provide a liquid crystal device capable of reducing transmission light in the dark state to improve the performance of the liquid crystal device by reducing scattered light generated by depolarizing linearly polarized light made incident on a color filter layer.
The color ferroelectric liquid crystal device has a ferroelectric liquid crystal material 2 between two glass substrates 3, 4 arranged at a fixed gap by spacers. The glass substrate 3 is provided with a color filter layer 5, wherein the surface of the color filter layer 5 is covered with a planarizing layer 6 made of a material which planarizes the surface. Surfaces inside the glass substrates 3, 4 are provided with electrode structures 7, 8, barrier layers 9, 10 and alignment layers 11, 12. Further, in order for the light linearly polarized by a polarizer 14 to reduce the transmission light in the dark state, a polarizing layer 16 is disposed between the color filter layer 5 and the liquid crystal material 2.
