Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a first polarizer having a first transmission axis, a first viewing angle control panel including a first liquid crystal layer containing hybrid-aligned liquid crystal molecules, a second polarizer, a second viewing angle control panel including a second liquid crystal layer containing hybrid-aligned liquid crystal molecules and a third polarizer. In plan view, an initial alignment direction of horizontally aligned liquid crystal molecules of the first liquid crystal layer and an initial alignment direction of horizontally aligned liquid crystal molecules of the second liquid crystal layer are parallel to each other and parallel or orthogonal to the first transmission axis.
