1. A display panel, comprising:
a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; and a light modulation layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate, the light modulation layer including a medium and a plurality of anisometric members such that an area of the anisometric members projected through the anisometric members in a direction normal to the substrates changes by rotation, wherein the first substrate is an active matrix substrate including a plurality of scan signal lines, a plurality of data signal lines that intersect with the scan signal lines, a plurality of switching elements disposed at respective intersections of the scan signal lines and the data signal lines, and a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the respective switching elements, wherein the second substrate is an opposite substrate having an opposite electrode that faces the pixel electrodes, wherein the projected area of the anisometric members with respect to the first substrate and the second substrate is changed by rotating the anisometric members through changing an amount or a frequency of a voltage applied between the plurality of pixel electrodes and the opposite electrode, and wherein the pixel electrodes extend over the scan signal lines with an insulating layer therebetween. |
