There is provided a liquid crystal device (1) that exhibits excellent response properties over a wide temperature range even when the weight percentage of the polymerizable monomer used for generating polymers is decreased. The liquid crystal device (1) according to the present invention is a liquid crystal device which includes a first substrate (10) and a second substrate (20), at least one of which has an electrode group (40) formed thereon for driving liquid crystals (L); and a liquid crystal layer (30) sandwiched between the first substrate (10) and the second substrate (20), in which the liquid crystal layer (30) contains a polymer which is eccentrically distributed on at least one substrate side among the first substrate (10) and the second substrate (20).
