A liquid crystal element (100) refracts and emits light. The liquid crystal element (100) is provided with a first electrode (1) to which a first voltage (V1) is applied, a second electrode (2) to which a second voltage (V2) different from the first voltage (V1) is applied, an insulating layer (21) which is an electrical insulator, a high-resistance layer (22), a liquid crystal layer (23) including liquid crystals, and a third electrode (3) to which a third voltage (V3) is applied. The insulating layer (21) is arranged between the first electrode (1) and second electrode (2) and the high-resistance layer (22), and insulates the first electrode (1) and second electrode (2) and the high-resistance layer (22) from each other. The electrical resistivity of the high-resistance layer (22) is greater than the electrical resistivity of the first electrode (1) and the electrical resistivity of the second electrode (2), and is less than the electrical resistivity of the insulating layer (21). The high-resistance layer (22) and the liquid crystal layer (23) are arranged between the insulating layer (21) and the third electrode (3). The high-resistance layer (22) is arranged between the insulating layer (21) and the liquid crystal layer (23). |
