1. A liquid crystal device comprising:
a first liquid crystal cell; and
a second liquid crystal cell bonded to the first liquid crystal cell, wherein
each of the first liquid crystal cell and the second liquid crystal cell comprises:
a first substrate comprising a plurality of first electrodes formed in a strip shape;
a second substrate comprising a plurality of second electrodes formed in a strip shape;
a liquid crystal layer held in a gap of 10 μm or more between the first substrate and the second substrate;
