A liquid crystal device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes, a first substrate in which a plurality of pixel electrodes are arranged in a display region, a second substrate in which a common electrode is disposed, the common electrode being supplied with a common signal potential varying between a first potential and a second potential, which is lower than the first potential, in a first period, a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate opposing mutually with a sealant interposed therebetween, at least three electrodes opposing the common electrode via the liquid crystal layer, the at least three electrodes being disposed between the display region of the first substrate and the sealant at different intervals from the display region, and a switching element coupled to each of the at least three electrodes. A driving signal varying between a third potential and a fourth potential lower than the third potential is input to the switching element, in units of durations equal to or less than ? of the first period, and AC signals varying between a positive-polarity potential and a negative-polarity potential, with a potential of the common signal being a reference, in a second period, which is longer than the first period, are applied to the at least three electrodes in a state where phases of the AC signals are shifted from one another.
