Abstract
An optical element includes at least two liquid crystal cells. The at least two liquid crystal cells include a first substrate on which a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode are alternately and repeatedly arranged in a first direction, a second substrate on which a third transparent electrode and a fourth transparent electrode are alternately and repeatedly arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate. The second transparent electrode comprises a first bent portion bent in the first direction. The fourth transparent electrode comprises a second bent portion bent in the second direction.

- and
- a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate,
- wherein each of the first transparent electrode and the third transparent electrode has a linear shape,
- the second transparent electrode comprises a first bent portion bent in the first direction,
- the fourth transparent electrode comprises a second bent portion bent in the second direction, and
- a pair of second transparent electrodes adjacent to each other through the first transparent electrode are provided line-symmetrically with respect to an extending direction of the first transparent electrode.
