<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a window which is equipped with a dimming function that easily and continuously varies the light transmittance of the window at high speed. <P>SOLUTION: The dimming window is comprised of an optical element that varies the light transmittance upon impression thereon of a magnetic field from outside. More specifically, the optical element is formed of a transparent substrate, a polarizer layer superposed on one surface of the transparent substrate via a layer having a magneto-optical effect, and another polarizer layer superposed on the other surface of the transparent substrate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
