【発明の詳細な説明】
(産業上の利用分野)
本発明は高分子複合膜およびそれを含む調光素子に関す
る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a polymer composite film and a light control element containing the same.
(従来の技術と発明が解決しようとする課題)電界に感
応する粒子を含む懸濁液の特徴の1つには、電界を与え
た時に懸濁粒子が凝集あるいは整列し、この状態では、
光は懸濁液を通過し、懸濁液自体は透明に見え、電界を
除去した時、粒子はブラウン運動のため非配向のランダ
ム状態に復帰し、低透光性となるので、光の透過を調節
出来るということがある。(Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention) One of the characteristics of a suspension containing particles that are sensitive to an electric field is that when an electric field is applied, the suspended particles aggregate or align, and in this state,
Light passes through the suspension, and the suspension itself appears transparent, and when the electric field is removed, the particles return to a non-oriented random state due to Brownian motion, resulting in low light transmission. Sometimes it is possible to adjust.
このため、電界に感応する懸濁液を使用した調光素子が
表示装置、調光窓、鏡等に提案されている(特開昭53
−144895号、特開昭464464号等)。しかし
、懸濁液は流動性を有しており、素子構造の固定、広面
積化及び形状の自由化等の面で問題があるのが現状であ
った。For this reason, dimming devices using suspensions that are sensitive to electric fields have been proposed for display devices, dimming windows, mirrors, etc.
-144895, JP-A-464464, etc.). However, the suspension liquid has fluidity, and there are currently problems in terms of fixing the device structure, increasing the area, and freeing the shape.
(課題を解決する為の手段) 本発明は、上述の課題を解決するものである。(Means for solving problems) The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems.
すなわち、本発明は、多孔性高分子膜の空孔中に電界に
感応する粒子を含む懸濁液を含有してなることを特徴と
する高分子複合膜、およびかかる高分子複合膜を少くと
も一方が透明でかつ内面に電極を形成した一対の基板の
間に挟持して構成されることを特徴とする調光素子を要
旨とするものである。That is, the present invention provides a polymer composite membrane characterized by containing a suspension containing particles sensitive to an electric field in the pores of a porous polymer membrane, and at least the above polymer composite membrane. The gist of the invention is a light control element that is constructed by being sandwiched between a pair of substrates, one of which is transparent and has an electrode formed on its inner surface.
以下に本発明の詳細な説明する。The present invention will be explained in detail below.
本発明で使用する懸濁液中に懸濁粒子として含まれる電
界に感応する粒子は球状、針状、棒状、フレーク状のい
