Abstract
A light control sheet includes a first characteristic and a second characteristic selectively exhibited. In the first characteristic, an absolute value of a change in clarity per unit voltage is greater than an absolute value of a change in haze per unit voltage. In the second characteristic, an absolute value of a change in haze per unit voltage is equal to or greater than an absolute value of a change in clarity per unit voltage. Haze is calculated in accordance with JIS K 7136:2000. Clarity is calculated by 100×(LC−LR)/(LC+LR). LC is an intensity of straight light travelling straight along a travelling direction of parallel light that has entered the light control sheet, and LR is an intensity of narrow-angle scattered light having an angle within ±2.5° relative to the travelling direction of the parallel light.
