According to the present invention, a liquid crystal electro-optic device is provided. The liquid crystal electro-optic device includes a pair of insulating substrates disposed to face each other; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the insulating substrates; and a pair of alignment films respectively formed on the insulating substrates to be in contact with the liquid crystal layer. The orientations of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer, which are in contact with the pair of alignment films, are aligned in a direction substantially perpendicular to the pair of insulating substrates, and the liquid crystal layer has a twist pitch of approximately quadruple the thickness of the liquid crystal layer.
