A liquid crystal device includes adjacent sub pixels with adjacent reflection regions and adjacent transmission regions. The device also includes a liquid crystal layer thickness adjusting layer that is continuously formed between two of the sub pixels and provided at least in reflection region. The liquid crystal layer thickness adjusting layer is disposed between the first sub pixel and the second sub pixel having a groove extending from the transmission region and along a boundary between the first and second sub pixels. The color filter for the first sub pixel transmits a color light having the lowest visibility corresponds. Further, a spacer is optionally disposed on an extension line of the groove or at a location adjacent to the groove.
