Wire grid polarization element and electronic device

An electronic device comprising:

• a first optical modulation unit including a first wire grid polarization element including a wire grid including a plurality of wire-shaped metal layers arranged in parallel on one surface of a substrate, and an electrooptical device, and configured to receive a first light beam of a first wavelength region;
• and
• a second optical modulation unit including a second wire grid polarization element including a wire grid including a plurality of wire-shaped metal layers arranged in parallel on one surface of a substrate, and an electrooptical device, and configured to receive a second light beam of a wavelength longer than the first wavelength region, wherein
• in each of the first wire grid polarization element and the second wire grid polarization element, a light-absorbing layer including a germanium film containing at least one of oxygen and nitrogen is provided on an side opposite to the substrate with respect to the plurality of wire-shaped metal layers.
