Title:
OPTICAL ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/038894
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing an optical element with which the utilization efficiency of spectral light can be improved. The problem is solved by having a liquid crystal diffraction element and a prism having a first surface that is in contact with the liquid crystal diffraction element directly or via another layer, wherein: the liquid crystal diffraction element includes an optically anisotropic layer having a liquid crystal alignment pattern in which the direction of an optical axis derived from a liquid crystal compound is changing while continuously rotating along at least one direction in a plane; and the prism has a second surface that reflects one of light beams separated due to the diffraction by the liquid crystal diffraction element.
