Abstract
A liquid crystal device comprising a pair of substrates each having an electrode, and a liquid crystal layer having a chiral smectic phase, provided between the substrates, wherein a first substrate which is one of the substrates comprises; i) a plurality of first electrodes dividedly disposed, the plurality of first electrodes being covered with a monomolecular film or monomolecular built-up film in such a way that the monomolecular film or monomolecular built-up film provided on the first electrodes and between the first electrodes is formed in a continuous film; and ii) a second electrode provided on the monomolecular film or monomolecular built-up film in such a way that an MIM device is formed at the part where the first electrodes, the monomolecular film or monomolecular built-up film and the second electrode overlap in layers.
