  • Optical device and refresh driving method for optical device
    Patent number: 11275273
    Abstract: An optical device (10) includes a first substrate (11) and a second substrate (12) facing each other, a liquid crystal component (13) between the first substrate (11) and the second substrate (12), a first electrode (18) and a second electrode (19) located on the first substrate (11) on the second substrate (12) side, and a first alignment layer (14) that is located on the first substrate (11) on the second substrate (12) side and controls the alignment state of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal component (13), wherein an interface between the liquid crystal component (13) and the first alignment layer (14) forms a non-glide weak anchoring interface (17).
