A complex () includes a liquid crystal component () and a support () of the liquid crystal component (), in which a lubricating interface derivation region () is formed between the liquid crystal component () and the support (). An optical element includes a pair of substrates () having electrodes () on at least one substrate (), and a liquid crystal component () with which a space between the pair of substrates () is filled, in which a lubricating interface derivation region () is formed between the pair of substrates () and the liquid crystal component (). It is preferable that the lubricating interface deriving agent () is present in the lubricating interface derivation region.

Complex and optical element

One aspect is contemplated for providing a device having a liquid crystal material exhibiting a dielectric constant of 1000 or more at a temperature at which a specific liquid crystal phase is developed, and a unit configured to apply voltage to the liquid crystal material at the temperature at which the specific liquid crystal phase is developed.
