1. A display panel, comprising:
a first substrate disposed on a rear side and a second substrate disposed on a display surface side, the first substrate and the second substrate facing each other; and a light modulation layer disposed between said first substrate and said second substrate, the light modulation layer controlling a transmittance of light that enters therein, wherein the light modulation layer comprises a plurality of shape-anisotropic members and liquid crystal material formed of liquid crystal molecules, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate have an alignment treatment performed on the surfaces thereof facing the light modulation layer, wherein said alignment treatment is performed such that, when voltage is not being applied to the light modulation layer, the liquid crystal molecules are helically twisted around an axis perpendicular to the first substrate and the second substrate from the first substrate, or such that the liquid crystal molecules become substantially perpendicular to the first substrate and the second substrate, and wherein changing a voltage applied to the light modulation layer changes an orientation of the liquid crystal molecules, thereby changing an area projected through the shape-anisotropic members with respect to the first substrate and the second substrate in a direction normal to the first substrate and the second substrate. |
