LIQUID CRYSTAL DEVICE

To provide a liquid crystal device in which the unevenness in liquid crystal can be suppressed even when exposed under a high temperature environment.SOLUTION: A liquid crystal device 1 comprises: a first glass sheet 41; a second glass sheet 42; a liquid crystal cell 10 located between them; a first joint layer 31 located between the first glass sheet 41 and the liquid crystal cell 10; and a second joint layer 32 located between the second glass sheet 42 and the liquid crystal cell 10. The first glass sheet 41 has a curbed shape that is recessed toward the first joint layer 31 side. In a cross section passing through the center of the liquid crystal cell 10 and parallel to a direction in which the curved shape is provided, in a plane view of the liquid crystal device 1, a thickness T1 of the first joint layer 31 at the center of the liquid crystal cell 10 is smaller than a thickness T2 of the first joint layer 31 at an outer circumferential edge of the liquid crystal cell 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】高温の環境下に曝した場合であっても、液晶ムラの発生を抑えることができる液晶装置を提供する。【解決手段】液晶装置１は、第１ガラス板４１と、第２ガラス板４２と、これらの間に配置された液晶セル１０と、第１ガラス板４１と液晶セル１０との間に配置された第１接合層３１と、第２ガラス板４２と液晶セル１０との間に配置された第２接合層３２とを備える。第１ガラス板４１は、第１接合層３１側に凸となる湾曲形状を有し、液晶装置１の平面視での液晶セル１０の中心を通り湾曲形状を有する方向に平行な断面において、液晶セル１０の中心での第１接合層３１の厚みＴ１が、液晶セル１０の外周端での第１接合層３１の厚みＴ２よりも小さい。【選択図】図５
