Zusammenfassung:A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substrates each having thereon an electrode, and a liquid crystal disposed between the substrates so as to be supplied with a voltage applied between the electrodes. The pair of substrates are provided with uniaxial aligning axes which are parallel but opposite to each other. The liquid crystal is a chiral smectic liquid crystal having a phase transition series of isotropic phase, cholesteric phase and chiral smectic C phase or a phase transition series of isotropic phase and chiral smectic C phase, respectively, on temperature decrease, and is placed in a monostable state under no voltage application and is placed in an alignment state exhibiting a pretilt angle of at least 4 degrees at a boundary thereof with at least one of the substrates.
