    Abstract: A light control sheet includes electrode layers including first transparent electrode layer and a second transparent electrode layer, a light control layer formed between the first and second transparent electrode layers, and transparent support layers including a first transparent support layer and a second transparent support layer such that the first transparent support layer is formed on the first transparent electrode layer on the opposite side of the light control layer and has a support surface supporting the first transparent electrode layer and that the second transparent support layer is formed the second transparent electrode layer on the opposite side of the light control layer. The first transparent electrode layer has one or more grooves extending along the support surface such that the first transparent electrode layer has an electrode element having a narrow portion formed between portions of the groove and having a width of 1 mm or more.

    Abstract: A light control sheet includes: a laminate having a light control layer containing a liquid crystal compound and a dichroic dye; and a first protective layer and a second protective layer that are disposed to the laminate and absorb light in an absorption wavelength range including an ultraviolet region. The laminate in an opaque state has a chromaticity a* of −15 to 15 and a chromaticity b* of −16 to 15 in a CIE1976 (L*a*b*) color system in accordance with JIS-Z-8781-4. The smallest value of the absorption wavelength range is 360 nm or less, and the upper limit of the absorption wavelength range is 410 nm to 430 nm within the visible region. The protective layers have a chromaticity a* of −10 to 0 and a chromaticity b* of 0 to 15 in a CIE1976 (L*a*b*) color system in accordance with JIS-Z-8781-4.
