Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance thermal sensitivity and develop thermochromism, by forming a nonflat shaped sheet material from a shape memory alloy so that the sheet material can be deformed from the nonflat shape into a flat shape, with the transformation temperature of the shape memory alloy as a boundary. CONSTITUTION:When a sawtooth shaped sheet material 1 formed by minute working is formed of a shape memory alloy having a transformation temperature of 20 deg.C, the sheet material has a corrugated shape when the ambient temperature is not higher than 20 deg.C, whereas when the ambient temperature exceeds 20 deg.C, the sheet is restored to a flat shape (the shape when the sheet material is formed) due to the shape memory property of the alloy. When the temperature is lowered to or below 20 deg.C, the sheet material is again changed into the corrugated shape. Thus, the sheet material is reversibly changed from the nonflat shape into the flat shape by a temperature change, resulting in that reflected light 3 obtained by the reflection of the light 2 incident on the sheet material is changed. As a result, the tone of the sheet material 1 is also changed. Thus, the sheet material exhibits thermochromism.
