Original Abstract Submitted
An optical element includes at least two liquid crystal cells. The at least two liquid crystal cells include a first substrate on which a first transparent electrode and a second transparent electrode are alternately and repeatedly arranged in a first direction, a second substrate on which a third transparent electrode and a fourth transparent electrode are alternately and repeatedly arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate. The second transparent electrode comprises a first bent portion bent in the first direction. The fourth transparent electrode comprises a second bent portion bent in the second direction.
