Abstract

Liquid crystal eyeglasses include a detector for detecting a physical quantity which varies with the temperature of the liquid crystal, the orientation of molecules of the liquid crystal or a change in the refractive index of the liquid crystal. The voltage applied to the liquid crystal is controlled in accordance with an output signal from the detector, thus compensating for a change in the refractive index of the liquid crystal which is attributable to a temperature change and maintaining the refractive index constant.
