The recessed area on one face is positioned substantially corresponding to the flat area on the other face. The light control device is for controlling a light-passing aperture and comprises a blade group composed of plural light-shielding blades movable between an extended state in which the plural blades are extended in a partially overlapping condition and a superposed state in which the plural blades are stacked in a substantially overlapping state. The blade group comprises at least a blade provided with a flat area and a recessed area on each face thereof. The recessed area on one face is positioned substantially corresponding to the flat area on the other face, and at least one of the flat areas is in overlapping contact with a neighboring blade in said extended state of the blade group.
