Light control element

Abstract

The light control element includes: a plurality of first electrodes having translucency and arranged in parallel to each other, each of the plurality of first electrodes being rectangular and a first electrode; a plurality of second electrodes arranged in parallel to each other and facing the plurality of first electrodes, each of the plurality of second electrodes being rectangular and a second electrode; and an electrolytic solution containing metal and disposed between the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes. The electrolytic solution deposits the metal on any one of the plurality of first electrodes and the plurality of second electrodes in accordance with an applied voltage. At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode has a resistance value higher at the end in a width direction than at a central position in the width direction.
