Switching mirror panel and switching mirror device

Abstract

The switching mirror panel of the present invention includes, in the following order: a reflective polarizing plate; a liquid crystal panel including paired facing substrates, and a liquid crystal layer and a sealing material disposed between the paired substrates; and an absorptive polarizing plate, wherein the switching mirror panel is capable of switching between a transparent mode and a mirror mode, where the transparent mode allows light to pass from the viewing surface side of the absorptive polarizing plate to the back surface side of the reflective polarizing plate and the mirror mode does not allow light to pass from the viewing surface side of the absorptive polarizing plate to the back surface side of the reflective polarizing plate, the sealing material transmits light incident from the normal direction of the absorptive polarizing plate, and the sealing material has a haze of 0% or higher and 10% or lower.
