This liquid crystal has a first optically stable state and a second
The liquid crystal has a bistable state consisting of an optically stable state, and unlike the optical element used in the above-mentioned twisted nematic liquid crystal, for example, the liquid crystal is oriented to the first optically stable state with respect to one electric field vector. Then, the liquid crystal is oriented to the second optically stable state with respect to the other electric field vector. Further, this type of liquid crystal has a property of responding to an applied electric field, taking one of the above two stable states at a very high speed, and maintaining the state when no electric field is applied. By utilizing such properties, an unprecedented liquid crystal element can be obtained.
