1. An infrared dimming apparatus, comprising:
a dimming layer including a plurality of shape-anisotropic members that are disposed between a pair of substrates opposing each other and that have reflective characteristics with respect to infrared light, so as to adjust transmittance of received infrared light; and a state switching control unit that applies a voltage to the dimming layer to change an area covered by the shape-anisotropic member as seen from a direction normal to the pair of substrates, so as to control switching between an infrared reflective state and an infrared transmissive state in the dimming layer, wherein the state switching control unit controls the switching between the infrared reflective state and the infrared transmissive state in the dimming layer in accordance with a predetermined time schedule. |
