摘要 |
The invention provides a liquid crystal device that includes: a first substrate; a second substrate that is provided over the first substrate in such a manner that the first substrate and the second substrate face each other; a transparent pixel electrode that is provided in each of a plurality of pixels that constitute a display area over the first substrate; a transparent common electrode that is formed over the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer that is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, the liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules that are driven by a horizontal electric field that is generated in accordance with a difference between the electric potential of the pixel electrode and the electric potential of the common electrode; and a light-sensitive pickup element that is formed in the display area over the first substrate, the light-sensitive pickup element having an upper electrode that is formed in the same layer as that of either the pixel electrode or the common electrode.
