Optical element

An optical element comprising:

• a plurality of fist electrodes formed on a substrate;
• a plurality of organic layers at least including organic light emitting materials formed on the plurality of first electrodes;
• a plurality of second electrodes formed on the plurality of organic layers;
• the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes being formed to be substantially orthogonal to each other;
• the plurality of organic layers being formed in an island-like shape at positions at which the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes intersect with each other, wherein a resistance value of the plurality of first electrodes is different than a resistance value of the plurality of second electrodes;
• a signal circuit connected to said plurality of first electrodes;
• and
• a scanning circuit connected to said plurality of second electrodes, wherein
• each of said first electrodes has a relatively larger resistance value and each of said second electrodes has a relatively smaller resistance value.
