Abstract
Provided is a liquid crystal element sequentially including: a first substrate; a first weak anchoring horizontal alignment film; a liquid crystal layer containing dual-frequency liquid crystal molecules; a second weak anchoring horizontal alignment film; and a second substrate. At least one of the first substrate or the second substrate includes a comb-teeth electrode for electric field generation in the liquid crystal layer. The dual-frequency liquid crystal molecules are twist-aligned between the first and second substrate with voltage applied and with no voltage applied. A direction of twist of the dual-frequency liquid crystal molecules with voltage applied and that with no voltage applied are the same. An alignment direction of dual-frequency liquid crystal molecules in a center of the liquid crystal layer in a thickness direction is orthogonal or parallel to an extension direction of the comb-teeth electrode.
