Abstract: A liquid crystal optical element includes a first transparent body which includes a first transparent substrate, a first transparent electrode, and a projection-depression structure; a second transparent body which includes a second transparent substrate and a second transparent electrode; and a liquid-crystal-containing resin layer interposed between the first transparent body and the second transparent body. At least one of a size of a droplet of a droplet structure and a size of a mesh of a network structure in the liquid-crystal-containing resin layer is larger near the first transparent body than near the second transparent body. Alternatively, the liquid-crystal-containing resin layer has: a first region that contains the liquid crystal and does not contain the resin; and a second region that contains both the liquid crystal and the resin.
