It has a structure in which a polarizing plate is provided on the outer surface of each transparent substrate. These TN
It has been proposed to use a phase plate in type and STN type liquid crystal display panels in order to eliminate coloring in one display or to improve viewing angle characteristics. Conventional phase plates have been manufactured by stretching a polymeric material film in a predetermined direction and aligning the molecules of the polymeric material in that direction.

In this optical element, when no electric field is applied to the composite material, light incident on the composite material is scattered at the interface of the liquid crystal material due to the difference in refractive index between the polymer material and the liquid crystal material, resulting in a cloudy state. When an electric field is applied to the composite material, the liquid crystal material becomes oriented, and the refractive index of the polymer material and the liquid crystal material become almost equal.
This allows light incident on the composite material to pass through without being scattered, resulting in a transparent state.

First, a composite material 6, which is a mixture of a polymer material 7 and a liquid crystal material 8, is sealed between a pair of upper and lower transparent substrates 1 and 2. When a two-component curing type polymer material is used as the polymer material 7, one of the transparent substrates 1 and 2, for example, the surface of the lower transparent substrate 1 on the transparent electrode 3 side is coated with the composite material 6, and then The composite material 6 is encapsulated by being sandwiched between the lower transparent substrate 2 and the sealing material 5.

When no voltage is applied to each of the transparent electrodes 3 and 4 of the upper and lower transparent substrates 1.2, the liquid crystal material 8 is regularly aligned in a certain direction as shown in FIG. 1, and the composite material 6 has a phase difference. Therefore, the light incident on the composite material 6 is transmitted with the ordinary light and the extraordinary light being out of phase by the phase difference. When a voltage is applied to the transparent electrodes 3 and 4 facing each other on the transparent substrate 1.2, as shown in FIG. The light incident on the composite material 6 is transmitted without causing a phase difference between the ordinary light and the extraordinary light.
