An optical element includes: first and second substrates arranged opposite to each other; a plurality of partition walls which rise from an inner surface of the first substrate, which faces the second substrate, and which also adjoin to one another in a first direction, and extend in a second direction differing from the first direction; and first and second through-holes which are formed in a region held between the adjoining paired partition walls on the first substrate. The element further includes: first and second electrodes which are formed on the surface of the partition walls in such a way that they partly face each other; an insulating film covering the first and second electrodes; a third electrode formed on an inner surface of second substrate, which faces the first substrate; and polar and apolar liquids, both having mutually different refractive indices, which are enclosed between the first and third electrodes.
