Abstract
A liquid crystal element is obtained having a plurality of alignment domains with a simple configuration. A manufacturing method of the liquid crystal element includes first through fourth processes. In the first process, a first substrate is formed having a first alignment film subjected to uniaxial alignment treatment. In the second process, forms a second substrate is formed having a second alignment film subjected to uniaxial alignment treatment. In the third process, a liquid crystal layer is formed between the first alignment film and the second alignment film using a liquid crystal material including a monomer which can be polymerized by light irradiation. In the fourth process, light is irradiated on, from among a first region and a second region adjacent to each other in the liquid crystal layer in a plan view, the first region with no voltage applied or with a voltage less than a threshold value applied to the first region.
