Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal optical device, comprising: a liquid crystal optical unit including a drive unit configured to implement a first operation including subjecting the first electrodes to a first potential, subjecting the second electrode to a second potential, subjecting the third electrode to a third potential, subjecting the first opposing electrodes to a first opposing potential, subjecting the second opposing electrode to a second opposing potential, and subjecting the third opposing electrode to a third opposing potential, the second potential being not more than the first potential, the third potential being lower than the second potential, the first opposing potential being lower than the first potential, the second opposing potential being lower than the second potential, the third opposing potential being higher than the second opposing potential, the absolute value of the difference between the second potential and the second opposing potential being not more than the absolute value of the difference between the first potential and the first opposing potential, the absolute value of the difference between the third potential and the third opposing potential being less than the absolute value of the difference between the second potential and the second opposing potential.
