Abstract
A color liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of rectangular substrates disposed opposite to each other to form a cell structure having a liquid crystal injection port, and a liquid crystal injected into the cell structure through the liquid crystal injection port. The pair of rectangular substrates includes a first substrate provided with a color filter and stripe electrodes disposed on the color filter and a second substrate provided with stripe electrodes disposed opposite to and intersecting the stripe electrodes on the first substrate. On each rectangular substrate, the stripe electrodes are divided into two groups which are electrically connected to external drive circuits disposed along one and the other, respectively, of mutually opposite sides of the rectangular substrate. The liquid crystal injection port is disposed at one of mutually opposite sides parallel to the stripe electrodes on the first substrate.
