ABSTRACT:
A display element includes a dielectric material layer3, provided between a pair of substrates (substrates1and2), which is made of a medium showing optical isotropy when no electric field is applied and showing optical anisotropy when an electric field is applied. Further, comb-shaped electrodes4and5are provided face to face on the substrate1so as to be positioned in a surface which faces the substrate2. Furthermore, polarizing plates6and7are respectively provided on rear surfaces with respect to the counter surfaces of the substrates1and2.Thus, it is possible to realize the display element which has a wide driving temperature range, a wide viewing angle property, and a high-speed response property.
