Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/021580
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This optical device (1) comprises: a light-transmissive first substrate (10); a light-transmissive second substrate (20) arranged in opposition to the first substrate (10); a first electrode (30) arranged on the second substrate (20) side of the first substrate (10); an irregular structure (50) arranged on the second substrate (20) side of the first electrode (30); a second electrode (40) arranged on the first substrate (10) side of the second substrate (20); and a refractive index variable layer (60) arranged between the irregular structure (50) and the second electrode (40), and having a refractive index that changes in accordance with a voltage applied between the first electrode (30) and the second electrode (40). The refractive index variable layer (60) includes: an insulating liquid (61); and charged nanoparticles (62) included in the insulating liquid (61). The refractive index of the nanoparticles (62) is higher than the refractive index of the insulating liquid (61).
