Original Abstract Submitted
An optical element includes at least four liquid crystal cells stacked in sequence. Each of the at least four liquid crystal cells includes a first substrate on which a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode each extending in a first direction are alternately arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, a second substrate on which a third transparent electrode and a fourth transparent electrode each extending in the second direction are alternately arranged in the first direction, and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate.
