    Abstract: The present technology relates to a light-shielding device, a light-shielding method, and a program which make an object that is meant to be invisible to human beings enter a state in which the object is hidden so as to be invisible to eyes, or make an object that is meant to be visible enter a state in which the object is visible to eyes in correspondence with a state of the periphery of a light-shielding wall.A light-shielding wall, which partitions two spaces and includes a plurality of panels capable of being controlled to a transmitting state in which light is transmitted or a light-shielding state in which light is shielded, is used as a window, a position of user' s eyes in the vicinity of the light-shielding wall is detected, and in a case where the position of the user's eyes is present in the vicinity of the light-shielding wall, a panel, which corresponds to the position of the user's eyes, of the light-shielding wall is controlled to the transmitting state, and the other panels are controlled to the light-shielding state. The present disclosure is applicable to the light-shielding wall.

    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a plurality of arranged pixels. Each of the pixels includes: a first substrate and a second substrate; a first electrode provided on a counter face of the first substrate, the counter face facing the second substrate; a second electrode provided on a counter face of the second substrate, the counter face facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer that contains liquid crystal molecules, and is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate. The liquid crystal molecules are given a pre-tilt. The first electrode includes a base layer 150 that contains a plurality of recesses and protrusions, and transparent conductive material layers 135 and 145. The first transparent conductive material layer 135 connected to a first power supply portion is formed on protrusion top faces 151 of the base layer 150. The second transparent conductive material layer 145 connected to a second power supply portion is formed on recess bottom faces 152 of the base layer 150. The first transparent conductive material layer 135 and the second transparent conductive material layer 145 are separated from each other.

    Abstract: The present technology relates to a light-shielding device, a light-shielding method, and a program which make an object that is meant to be invisible to human beings enter a state in which the object is hidden so as to be invisible to eyes, or make an object that is meant to be visible enter a state in which the object is visible to eyes in correspondence with biological information. A light-shielding wall, which partitions two spaces and includes a plurality of panels capable of being controlled to a transmitting state in which light is transmitted or a light-shielding state in which light is shielded, is used as a window, an orientation of a face of a user who is sleeping is detected as biological information, and the light-shielding wall is controlled so that the user is capable of visually recognizing light of which a light source is the sun when it reaches an alarm setting time. According to this, it enters a state in which light of which a light source is the sun that is meant to be visible is visible to eyes, and thus it is possible to encourage the user to comfortably wake up. The present disclosure is applicable to the light-shielding wall.
