Disclosed is an optical element including a first electrode and a second electrode disposed to face each other; an insulating film covering a surface of the first electrode facing the second electrode, the insulating film including a dielectric layer, an ion barrier layer, and a water repellent layer laminated in order; and a polar liquid and a non-polar liquid enclosed between the insulating film and the second electrode and having refractive indices different from each other. The dielectric layer has a larger permittivity than that of the ion barrier layer, the ion barrier layer suppresses permeation of an ion contained in the polar liquid, and the water repellent layer is located in an uppermost layer of the insulating film and exhibits an affinity for the non-polar liquid.
