摘要： An optical element includes first to fourth liquid crystal cells. Each of the first to fourth liquid crystal cells includes a first substrate on which a first pair of comb-shaped transparent electrodes are arranged and a second substrate on which a second pair of comb-shaped transparent electrodes are arranged. An extending direction of the first pair of comb-shaped transparent electrodes is orthogonal to an extending direction of the second pair of comb-shaped transparent electrodes. Between two different liquid crystal cells of the first to fourth liquid crystal cells, one of the first pair of comb-shaped transparent electrodes of one liquid crystal cell and one of the second pair of comb-shaped transparent electrodes of the other liquid crystal cell are electrically connected to each other.

摘要： According to an aspect, a display device includes a display unit in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix along two directions intersecting with each other. Each of the pixels includes three sub-pixels corresponding to three of four colors including a first color, a second color, a third color, and a fourth color. An area of one sub-pixel among the three sub-pixels is larger than the area of each of the other two sub-pixels. A sub-pixel of the fourth color is one of the other two sub-pixels. Pixels each including the sub-pixel of the fourth color are not adjacent to each other in at least one of the two directions in the display unit.

摘要： A display device includes a display unit in which pixels are arranged in a matrix. The pixels each include a first sub-pixel having the largest area among sub-pixels, a second sub-pixel adjacent to the first sub-pixel and having an area smaller than that of the first sub-pixel, and a third sub-pixel adjacent to the first and second sub-pixels, having an area smaller than that of the first sub-pixel, and arranged in the same column as that of second sub-pixels. First, second, and third pixels are aligned in at least one of a column direction or a row direction and each include the first, second, and third sub-pixels that can display different one of first, second, and third colors. Areas of the first, second, and third colors displayable by the first, second, and third pixels in total are equal to one another.
