ILLUMINATING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF LIGHT MODULATION ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an illuminating device and a display device capable of enhancing display luminance while reducing light leakage in a range of a large visual angle as well as a manufacturing method of a light modulation element.

SOLUTION: A light modulation layer 34 containing a bulk 34A and particulates 34B is provided inside a light modulation element 30 adhered to a light guide plate 10. Both of the bulk 34A and the particulates 34B have optical anisotropy and different response speeds to these electric fields each other. With this, directions of optical axes of the bulk 34A and the particulates 34B can be changed to be identical or different form each other by way of electric field control.
