Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an optical element including a first polarizer and a second polarizer disposed to be perpendicular to each other, and a cell disposed between the first polarizer and the second polarizer. The cell includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, an electrode positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a dispersion disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including at least one of peeled α-ZrP particles and peeled α-TiP particles. The peeled α-ZrP particles and the peeled α-TiP particles are in a nematic state. The orientation of at least one of the α-ZrP particles or the α-TiP particles is changed by an electric field applied to the electrode.
