Abstract:
A light control device includes two light control units each having a light control sheet reversibly changeable between a transparent state and an opaque state, one light control sheet overlapping another light control sheet. The light control device has a state in which the light control sheets are simultaneously opaque, the light control sheet includes a transparent polymer layer having voids, and a liquid crystal composition including a liquid crystal compound and a dichroic dye. The voids being filled with the liquid crystal composition. An absorbance difference, which is a value obtained by subtracting an average absorbance of the liquid crystal composition from an absorbance of the light control sheets in the opaque state, is 0.4 or greater.
