    摘要: A colloidal structure includes a plurality of types of colloidal particles, and a matrix that fixes the colloidal particles. The plurality of types of the colloidal particles include at least first colloidal particles and second colloidal particles, which are different in average particle size from each other. Then, the plurality of types of the colloidal particles form a regular array in a matrix. A multi-colloidal structure includes a plurality of the colloidal structures. A method for producing a colloidal structure includes: a dispersion liquid preparation step of preparing a colloidal dispersion liquid by dispersing a plurality of types of colloidal particles together with a monomer; a coating film generation step of coating the colloidal dispersion liquid on a substrate, and generating a coating film; and a polymerization step of polymerizing the monomer in the coating film.

    摘要: The present invention relates to light-scattering liquid crystal devices suited for use in light control glass such as optical shutters and use in segment displays in, for example, clocks. A light-scattering liquid crystal device according to the present invention includes two substrates 1, of which at least one includes an electrode layer 2 and at least one is transparent, and a light control layer 4 held between the substrates, the light control layer 4 containing a liquid crystal material and a polymer substance, wherein the light-scattering liquid crystal device includes, between the substrates and the light control layer, a thin film layer 3 formed by subjecting a thermally curable compound containing a reactive group to thermal curing. According to the present invention, a light-scattering liquid crystal device having dramatically improved adhesion can be provided.
