An optical device () includes a first substrate () and a second substrate () facing each other, a liquid crystal component () between the first substrate () and the second substrate (), a first electrode () and a second electrode () located on the first substrate () on the second substrate () side, and a first alignment layer () that is located on the first substrate () on the second substrate () side and controls the alignment state of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal component (), wherein an interface between the liquid crystal component () and the first alignment layer () forms a non-glide weak anchoring interface ().

Optical device and refresh driving method for optical device

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

In a substrate processing apparatus, a storage device, an indexer block, a processing block and an interface block are arranged to line up in this order. The storage device includes a plurality of openers on which a carrier storing a plurality of substrates can be placed. The carrier is carried in the storage device. In the storage device, the carrier is transported among the plurality of openers by a transport device. The transport device includes first and second hands configured to be able to hold the carrier and move in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. The second hand is provided below the first hand.
