Reflecting device

Abstract

A reflecting device includes a patch electrode, a common electrode, a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the patch electrode and the common electrode, and a metal film arranged on the opposite side of the common electrode from the side of the liquid crystal layer, wherein the metal film is spaced apart from the common electrode, and the patch electrode is arranged to overlap the metal film. X can be the value obtained by multiplying a distance T between the common electrode and the metal film by the wavelength λ of the radio wave irradiated to the patch electrode, and x can be equal to or greater than 0.02 and less than or equal to 0.34. X can be equal to or greater than 0.10 and less than or equal to 0.22.
