PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switching memory element using a physical variation obtained from a strain occurrence phenomena yielded by straining a liquid crystal field. SOLUTION: The switching memory element comprises a light transmissive first member having a first alignment face performing alignment treatment on a liquid crystal, a light transmissive second member provided with a second alignment face having restraining force to liquid crystal alignment of intensity different from the first alignment face on a face opposite to the first alignment face, the liquid crystal enclosed freely to flow into a space formed between the first alignment face and the second alignment face, and a light measuring means for measuring light passing through a liquid crystal alignment field formed between the first member and the second member by irradiating the first member and the second member with light. One of the first member or the second member is reciprocally moved to the other. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
