Abstract
Provided is an optical element in which transmission of incident light with an angle in a predetermined direction is allowed and the brightness of transmitted light is high. The optical element is formed using a composition including a liquid crystal compound and has a liquid crystal alignment pattern in which a direction of an optical axis derived from the liquid crystal compound rotates in one direction; and the optically-anisotropic layer has regions in which the optical axis is twisted in a thickness direction of the optically-anisotropic layer and rotates, the regions having different magnitudes of twist angles of the rotation in a plane.
