    Abstract: An optical device includes a first optical adjuster, a second optical adjuster, and a phase modulation layer. The optical adjuster includes: an electrode; a counter electrode; a refractive index adjustment layer that has a refractive index changing in response to an electric field, is changeable between a transparent state and a state in which the refractive index adjustment layer distributes incident light, and has refractive index anisotropy; and a textured layer that gives the refractive index adjustment layer an uneven surface. The refractive index adjustment layer is provided between the electrode and the counter electrode and contains liquid crystals. The first optical adjuster and the second optical adjuster are arranged in the thickness direction of the optical device.

    Abstract: An optical switching device includes: a plurality of optically variable units that are variable in a degree of optical transparency according to electric power; and a plurality of power supply terminals that supply electric power to any of the plurality of optically variable units. The plurality of optically variable units are arranged in a thickness direction. Each of the plurality of optically variable units has a pair of electrodes. Each of the pair of electrodes in at least one of the plurality of optically variable units is connected to the plurality of power supply terminals. The plurality of power supply terminals supply electric power in which at least one of current and voltage is controlled in a plurality of levels.

    Abstract: An environmental control method, including: receiving settings of a favorite emission color of light that the subject likes and an unfavorite emission color of light that the subject does not like; and switching between first control and second control at a predetermined timing, the first control making a function of a sympathetic nervous system of the subject dominant over a function of a parasympathetic nervous system of the subject by causing an indirect lighting apparatus disposed in a space in which a subject is located and capable of changing an emission color of light to emit light having the unfavorite emission color of the subject received, the second control making the function of the sympathetic nervous system of the subject dominant over the function of the parasympathetic nervous system of the subject by casing the indirect lighting apparatus to emit light having the favorite emission color of the subject received.

    Abstract: An optical device includes: a first electrode; a second electrode; a refractive index adjustment layer that has a refractive index changing in response to an electric field and is changeable between a transparent state and a state in which the refractive index adjustment layer distributes incident light; and a textured layer including a plurality of protrusions protruding toward the second electrode. The refractive index adjustment layer is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode. The textured layer is provided between the first electrode and the refractive index adjustment layer. The plurality of protrusions is in the form of stripes. The protrusion has a substantially trapezoidal cross-section. A trapezoid which is a cross-sectional shape of the protrusion has a base angle θ at both ends of the lower base ranging from 70 degrees to 85 degrees.
