A liquid crystal apparatus includes a display region in which electrodes are disposed in a matrix pattern, a non-display region provided at a periphery of the display region, and a liquid crystal disposed in the display region and non-display region. The liquid crystal disposed in the display region is splay-aligned when a voltage is not applied and bend-aligned when the voltage is applied. The liquid crystal disposed in the non-display region is bend-aligned. The apparatus also includes an alignment film including an inorganic material provided in at least one of a pair of substrates. The thickness of the alignment film provided in the display region is smaller than the thickness of the alignment film provided in the non-display region. |
