ABSTRACT:
A light control apparatus may include a substrate, a first reflection layer provided on the substrate, a light modulating film provided on the first reflection layer, a second reflection layer provided on the light modulating film, and a pair of electrodes which applies an electric field to the light modulating film. The light modulating film ma have a refractive index controlled by the electric field.
