1. A liquid crystal device, comprising:

  • an electrode substrate having a plurality of pixel electrodes;

    an opposing substrate opposing the electrode substrate;

    a color filter having color elements, each color element opposing each of the pixel electrodes;

    a liquid crystal disposed between the electrode substrate and the opposing substrate; and

    an alignment control member extending on a face of at least one of the electrode substrate or the opposing substrate, the face contacting with the liquid crystal,wherein the color element includes a first color element whose effective area through which light is transmitted is a first area and a second color element whose effective area through which light is transmitted is a second area, an area of which the alignment control member formed in a position corresponding to the first color element or the second color element extends is determined by color, and a third area of which the alignment control member formed in the position corresponding to the first color element extends is different from a fourth area of which the alignment control member formed in the position corresponding to the second color element extends, andwherein a ratio of the third area of which the alignment control member formed in the position corresponding to the first color element extends to an area of the first color element is the same as a ratio of the fourth area of which the alignment control member formed in the position corresponding to the second color element extends to an area of the second color element.
