1. A liquid crystal device, comprising:

  • a pair of first and second electrode plates and a liquid crystal composition disposed between the electrode plates, wherein the first electrode plate comprises a light-transmissive substrate, a plurality of electrodes including principal electrodes and auxiliary electrodes supported on the light-transmissive substrate, and an insulating layer;

    each auxiliary electrode being disposed between an associated principal electrode and the light-transmissive substrate so as to be electrically connected with at least a part of the associated principal electrode, and the auxiliary electrodes being disposed with spacings therebetween which are filled with the insulating layer, and the second electrode plate comprises a light-transmissive substrate, a color filter disposed on the light-transmissive substrate, a flattening layer disposed on the color filter, and a plurality of electrodes including principal electrodes and auxiliary electrodes disposed on the flattening layer;

    each auxiliary electrode being disposed between an associated principal electrode and the flattening layer so as to be electrically connected with at least a part of the associated principal electrode, and each principal electrode contacting the flattening layer at a spacing between an associated auxiliary electrode and an adjacent auxiliary electrode.
