Liquid crystal shutter and image capturing apparatus

摘要

A liquid crystal shutter includes: a first plate including a first transparent electrode layer, a second plate disposed parallel to the first plate and including a second transparent electrode layer, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first plate and the second plate and is configured to transmit or block light according to a first potential difference between the first transparent electrode layer and the second transparent electrode layer, and a heating electrode configured to generate a second potential difference for generating Joule heating in the first transparent electrode layer.
