Description

  The present invention relates to a memorial device for storing an urn or position and a memorial facility including a plurality of memorial devices.

  In recent years, joint cemeteries have been used because of the difficulty in obtaining cemeteries due to rising land prices. In particular, in urban areas where many people live, in addition to soaring land prices, usable land is also limited. For this reason, it is difficult to secure a cemetery that requires a large area in an easily accessible urban area, and a common cemetery is increasingly required.

  For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a common cemetery in which a target ossicle is moved from a storage location where a plurality of ossuary altars are stored to a worship chamber in response to a request from a worshiper in the prayer chamber. In the memorial facility as a joint cemetery described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a kannon type door or an openable / closable door in the traveling direction is adopted, and thus a large space is required for opening and closing the door. Furthermore, since the transport mechanism for moving the ossuary is large, the memorial space cannot be used effectively.

  In this regard, Patent Document 3 discloses a memorial facility in which each of a plurality of ossuary platters is housed in a transparent casket case and arranged in a staircase shape. The visiting worshiper moves to the front of the target ossuary and finishes the worship. In the memorial facility described in Patent Document 3, since a transfer mechanism for moving the ossuary is not required, the memorial space is made effective.

<< First Embodiment >>
1 to 8 are views for explaining a first embodiment of a memorial device 10 according to the present invention. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing the memorial device 10. In addition, not only the deceased but also a pet is included in the subject to be beaten by the memorial device 10. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the memorial device 10 includes a storage platform main body 11 on which the urn 12 or position is placed, and a platform case 20 surrounding the storage platform main body 11. The platform case 20 supports the front plate 30 at a position in front of the storage platform main body 11. The front plate 30 includes a light control sheet 40 capable of switching between a high haze state and a low haze state. According to the memorial device 10 described here, the storage platform main body 11 can be made inconspicuous by setting the light control sheet 40 disposed in front of the storage platform main body 11 to the high haze state shown in FIG. Moreover, since a door opening / closing space is not required, the memorial space can be used effectively. Hereinafter, each component of the memorial device 10 will be described.

  The storage platform main body 11 is constituted by an ossification platform main body for storing a known urn 12 or a Buddhist altar main body for storing a position. Below, the example in which the storage platform main body 11 was comprised with the ossification platform main body which stores the urn 12 will be described. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross section of the storage platform main body 11. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage platform main body 11 defines a carote 13 on which the urn 12 is placed, and an erection room S in which the urn 12 is placed between the carot 13 and the caroten 13. It has a tombstone seat 14 and a tombstone body 15 arranged on the tombstone seat 14.

  The caroten 13 is also called an ossuary. The carote 13 has a bottom surface and four side surfaces that surround the top of the bottom surface in an annular shape. An opening 13 a that opens upward is formed in a region surrounded by the four side surfaces of the carote 13. The tombstone seat portion 14 is arranged so as to close the opening 13 a formed in the caroten 13. Accordingly, the tombstone seat portion 14 functions as a lid for the carote 13. The urn 12 containing the remains is stored in the escrow room S defined between the carote 13 and the tombstone seat 14. A tombstone body 15 is placed on the tombstone seat 14. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the tombstone body 15 is formed integrally with the tombstone seat portion 14. As the tombstone main body 15, those having various shapes can be adopted. Typically, characters are engraved on the main surface 15a which is the front of the tombstone body 15.

  For example, concrete, plastic, or wood can be used for the caroten 13 as a material constituting each component constituting the storage platform main body 11. For the tombstone seat 14 and the tombstone body 15, for example, natural stone such as granite or marble, or a molded product such as casting or pottery can be used.

  Such a storage platform main body 11 is accommodated in the platform case 20. The platform case 20 covers at least a part of the storage platform main body 11 and is provided to make it difficult for a person other than the worshiper to see the storage platform main body 11. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the platform case 20 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The platform case 20 includes an upper wall 21 and a lower wall 22 that face each other, and four side walls 23 to 26 that extend between the upper wall 21 and the lower wall 22. Among these, the upper wall 21 covers the upper part of the storage platform main body 11. The storage platform main body 11 is placed on the lower wall 22, and the lower wall 22 faces the carote 13. The four side walls 23 to 26 surround the storage platform main body 11 in an annular shape. The four side walls 23 to 26 are configured by a front side wall 23 and a rear side wall 24 facing each other, and a pair of lateral side walls 25 and 26 extending between an end portion of the front side wall 23 and an end portion of the rear side wall 24. . The front side wall 23 is disposed facing the front surface of the storage platform main body 11, and the rear side wall 24 is disposed facing the rear side of the storage platform main body 11. In addition, the front of the storage platform main body 11 refers to a surface intended to face when a worshiper worships, and is typically a surface facing the main surface 15a on which the characters of the tombstone main body 15 are engraved. . The pair of lateral side walls 25 and 26 are located on the side of the storage platform main body 11.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an opening 27 is provided in the front side wall 23, and a front plate 30 is fitted in the opening 27. The opening 27 is formed at a position facing the tombstone body 15. In the present embodiment, the opening 27 is formed so that the entire tombstone body 15 can be seen when the storage platform main body 11 is viewed from the front direction of the storage platform main body 11 through the opening 27. . Therefore, the opening 27 is formed so as to overlap at least the entire tombstone main body 15 when viewed from the front direction of the storage platform main body 11.

  The platform case 20 is preferably opaque in order to make it difficult to effectively view the storage platform main body 11 from a region other than the opening 27. Examples of the material constituting the platform case 20 include wood, aluminum, and plastic. Furthermore, these materials may be lacquered or gold-plated.

  The front plate 30 is fitted into the opening 27 without any gap and is supported by the platform case 20. As described above, the opening 27 is formed at a position facing the tombstone main body 15 and is formed so as to overlap at least the entire tombstone main body 15 when viewed from the front direction of the storage platform main body 11. Therefore, the front plate 30 faces the tombstone main body 15 and is formed so as to overlap at least the entire tombstone main body 15 when viewed from the front direction of the storage platform main body 11.

  4 to 7 show a cross section of the front plate 30. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the front plate 30 of the present embodiment includes a functional layer 32 bonded to the light control sheet 40 in addition to the light control sheet 40 that can be switched between a high haze state and a low haze state. Is further included. The functional layer 32 is a layer intended to perform some function. As an example, a hard coat property, an antireflection property, an antifouling property, or a layer that exhibits these two or more functions can be given. The number of functional layers included in the front plate 30 can be any number greater than or equal to one.

  The light control sheet 40 is a sheet-like member in which the haze value [%] changes. Haze can be measured by a method based on JIS K7136 using a haze meter (manufactured by Murakami Color Research Laboratory, product number: HM-150).

  The light control sheet 40 may be formed using various sheet-like members whose haze values change. However, in the memorial device 10 described here, the light control sheet 40 is intended to conceal the storage platform main body 11 in a high haze state, that is, to obscure the presence of the storage platform main body 11. Therefore, it is preferable that the haze value of the light control sheet 40 in a high haze state is 90% or more. On the other hand, the light control sheet 40 is intended not to impair the visibility of the storage platform main body 11 in the low haze state. Therefore, the haze value of the light control sheet 40 in the low haze state is preferably 10% or less.

  An example of the light control sheet 40 that enables switching of the haze value is a sheet-like member whose haze value changes depending on whether or not a voltage is applied. 4 to 7 exemplify a polymer network type liquid crystal (PNLC) as a light control sheet capable of switching between a high haze state and a low haze state according to the presence or absence of voltage application. Among them, the light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is a type called a normal mode type, and the light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is a type called a reverse mode type. .

  The normal mode type light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is disposed between a pair of base materials 41 and 42 and a first base material 41 and a second base material 42 which are disposed to face each other. And a first electrode 43 and a second electrode 44 respectively stacked on the corresponding base materials 41 and 42, and a polymer network 48 and a liquid crystal material 49 disposed between the pair of electrodes 43 and 44. ing. The pair of base materials 41 and 42 has visible light permeability, and enables the storage platform main body 11 to be visually recognized. For the same reason, the pair of electrodes 43 and 44 also has visible light transparency. The pair of base materials 41 and 42 can be formed using, for example, transparent glass or a resin film. The pair of electrodes 43 and 44 can be formed using a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide.

  On the other hand, the reverse mode type light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 further includes a pair of alignment films 45 and 46 disposed between the pair of electrodes 43 and 44. The first alignment film 45 is stacked on the first electrode 43, and the second alignment film 46 is stacked on the second electrode 44. The polymer network 48 and the liquid crystal material 49 are disposed between the pair of alignment films 45 and 46. The alignment films 45 and 46 are so-called vertical alignment films, and align the liquid crystal molecules so that the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal molecules is along the normal direction of the alignment films 45 and 46.

  The polymer network 48 is formed in a three-dimensional network shape, in other words, a sponge shape. The polymer network 48 has a number of voids formed therein. A liquid crystal material 49 is provided in the gap. The polymer network 48 is formed from a cured product of a resin material. On the other hand, the liquid crystal material 49 is a liquid material containing liquid crystal molecules 50 having a longitudinal direction. The liquid crystal molecule 50 has a refractive index anisotropy corresponding to its shape. That is, the refractive index in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal molecules 50 is different from the refractive index in the direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal molecules 50.

  As an example, in the light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the refractive index of the liquid crystal molecules 50 and the refractive index of the polymer network 48 in the state where the liquid crystal molecules 50 are aligned (FIGS. 5 and 6). Is complete. In this state, the light incident on the light control sheet 40 can pass through the light control sheet 40 without greatly bending the traveling direction. That is, in the state where the liquid crystal molecules 50 are aligned, the light control sheet 40 is in a low haze state. In this state, the light control sheet 40 is in a transparent state, and the storage platform main body 11 can be observed through the light control sheet 40.

On the other hand, in the light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, when the liquid crystal molecules 50 of the liquid crystal material 49 are not aligned (FIGS. 4 and 7), the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 50 in the longitudinal direction is Depending on the polymer network 48 located in the vicinity of the liquid crystal molecules 50, it becomes irregular.
In this state, the light incident on the light control sheet 40 is greatly bent in the traveling direction and diffused. That is, in the state where the liquid crystal molecules 50 are not aligned, the light control sheet 40 is in a high haze state. At this time, the light control sheet 40 becomes clouded, and the storage platform main body 11 is concealed by the light control sheet 40.

  In the normal mode type light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, positive type liquid crystal molecules 50 are used. In the state in which the switch 51 shown in FIG. 4 is opened (in the cut state), the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 50 is irregular. Therefore, the normal mode type light control sheet 40 can be clouded and conceal the storage platform main body 11 when no electric field is applied. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, in the state where the switch 51 is closed and the current from the power source 52 is supplied (the state where the switch 51 is turned on), the liquid crystal molecules 50 are aligned. Therefore, the normal mode type light control sheet 40 becomes transparent when a voltage is applied, and the worshiper can observe the storage platform main body 11 through the transparent light control sheet 40.

  In the reverse mode type light control sheet 40 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, negative type liquid crystal molecules 50 are used. In the state where the switch 51 shown in FIG. 6 is opened (cut state), the liquid crystal molecules 50 are vertically aligned by the alignment action of the pair of alignment films 45 and 46. Therefore, the reverse mode type light control sheet 40 becomes transparent when no voltage is applied, and the worshiper can observe the storage platform main body 11 through the transparent light control sheet 40. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, when the switch 51 is closed (entered), the orientation of the negative liquid crystal molecules 50 becomes irregular. Therefore, the reverse mode type light control sheet 40 can be clouded and conceal the storage platform main body 11 in a state where an electric field is applied.

  By the way, the liquid crystal material 49 may have a dichroic dye. Similar to the liquid crystal molecules 50, the dichroic dye has a longitudinal direction and changes its direction according to the presence or absence of voltage application. And a dichroic pigment | dye can have a color according to the direction. For this reason, the light control sheet 40 is maintained colorless and transparent in the low haze state, and on the other hand, in the high haze state, the light control sheet 40 can exhibit concealability while having a predetermined color rather than mere white turbidity. Here, the predetermined color can be the same as the surrounding color where the light control sheet 40 is installed, for example, the color of the floor case 20. According to this example, the memorial device 10 can be arranged without destroying the color tone of the surrounding environment. That is, the memorial device 10 can be arranged while maintaining harmony with the surroundings. As such a dichroic dye, various well-known things as disclosed in, for example, JP-A-2007-009120 and JP-A-2011-246411 can be used.

  The light control sheet 40 as described above is a liquid state of an uncured resin composition that forms a polymer network 48 between the pair of base materials 41 and 42, the electrodes 43 and 44, and the alignment films 45 and 46. The liquid crystal material 49 is disposed. From this state, the uncured resin composition is cured. By adjusting the curing speed at this time, the resin composition and the liquid crystal material 49 are each aggregated to some extent. As a result, the liquid crystal material 49 is distributed to some extent, while a three-dimensional network (sponge-like) polymer network 48 is formed. In addition, the resin composition which makes the polymer network 48 can be made into the photocurable resin hardened | cured by irradiating light as an example. When a photocurable resin is used, the dispersion of the liquid crystal material 49 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of light irradiated by the resin composition.

  In particular, when the pair of base materials 41 and 42 of the light control sheet 40 is formed of a resin film, the light control sheet 40 has flexibility. Therefore, the front case 30 including the light control sheet 40 can be supported by the platform case 20 in a curved state at a position in front of the storage platform main body 11. Therefore, the design of the memorial device 10 can be improved by arranging the curved front plate 30 along the design or the like of the curved platform case 20, and further, in the region where the memorial device 10 is arranged. It is also possible to improve the texture and add a sense of quality.

  Next, the operation of the above-described memorial device 10 will be described.

  First, when the memorial device 10 is not used, that is, when the worship using the memorial device 10 is not performed, the light control sheet 40 is kept in a high haze state. As shown in FIG. 2, in the high haze state, since the light control sheet 40 scatters transmitted light, the storage platform main body 11 is hardly observed over the light control sheet 40. In particular, in the illustrated example, the storage platform main body 11 is surrounded by the platform case 20 and the front plate 30. Therefore, by keeping the light control sheet 40 in a high haze state, the storage platform main body 11 can be made extremely difficult to see. For example, when the memorial device 10 is installed indoors, it is possible to achieve harmony with the surrounding environment where the memorial device 10 should be installed by making it difficult to see the storage platform main body 11.

  When the light control sheet 40 adopts the normal mode type haze switching method, the storage platform main body 11 is concealed in a state where no voltage is applied. That is, the storage platform main body 11 can be concealed without using electric power. Therefore, typically, the non-use time is longer than the use time, and from the viewpoint of reducing power consumption, when the voltage is applied, the haze state is low and when the voltage is not applied, the high haze state is obtained. It is preferable to adopt a normal mode type haze switching method.

  Next, when worship is performed using the memorial device 10, the light control sheet 40 is kept in a low haze state. As shown in FIG. 1, in the low haze state, the light control sheet 40 transmits incident light without greatly bending the traveling direction, so the storage platform main body 11 is observed through the light control sheet 40. Therefore, the worshiper can worship through the transparent light control sheet 40.

  As described above, according to the memorial device 10 of the present embodiment, the storage platform main body 11 on which the urn 12 or the position is placed, and the front plate 30 disposed in front of the storage platform main body 11 are provided. The front plate 30 includes a light control sheet 40 capable of switching between a high haze state and a low haze state. According to such a form, the light control sheet 40 becomes cloudy by keeping the light control sheet 40 of the front plate 30 in a high haze state. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult to see the storage platform main body 11 through the light control sheet 40. On the other hand, the light control sheet 40 becomes transparent by keeping the light control sheet 40 in a low haze state. Thereby, the worshiper can perform worship while observing the storage platform main body 11 through the transparent light control sheet 40. That is, according to the memorial device 10 of this Embodiment, it can suppress that the storage platform main body 11 is visually recognized by keeping the light control sheet 40 in a high haze state. In addition, since it is not necessary to secure a door opening / closing space, the memorial space can be used effectively.

  Further, according to the memorial device 10 of the present embodiment, the platform case 20 surrounding the storage platform body 11 is further provided, and the platform case 20 supports the front plate 30 at a position in front of the storage platform body 11. . According to such a form, since the platform case 20 surrounds the storage platform main body 11, it is difficult to see the storage platform main body 11 from an area other than the front plate 30. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the storage platform body 11 from being inadvertently viewed by others.

  Next, a configuration example of the memorial facility 1 using such a memorial device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a plan view showing an example of a memorial facility 1 in which a plurality of memorial devices 10 are arranged in a staircase pattern. The memorial facility 1 shown in FIG. 8 includes an entrance area A1 and a worship area A2. The entrance area A1 and the worship area A2 are demarcated by the wall 4, and the two areas A1 and A2 can be traversed from the door 5 provided on the wall 4. Entrance area A1 is an area where visiting worshipers enter, and is also an area where worshipers who have completed worshiping leave. Many worship devices 10 are arranged in the worship area A2, and worshiping is performed by worshipers. The visiting worshiper inputs necessary information to the input means 61 provided in the entrance area A1, and enters the worship area A2 through the door 5. Based on the information input to the input means 61, the control unit 60 identifies the target memorial device 10 and informs the worshiper. The worshiper who enters the worship area A2 performs worship with the specified memorial device 10. The worshiper who has finished worshiping returns to the entrance area A1 from the door 5 and leaves the memorial facility 1. According to the memorial facility 1 shown in FIG. 8, a large transfer mechanism for moving the memorial device 10 is not required, and it is not necessary to secure a space for opening and closing the door that can be provided in the memorial device 10. Space can be used effectively.

  A plurality of memorial device groups 2 separated by a passage 3 are provided in the worship area A2. Each memorial device group 2 includes a plurality of memorial devices 10 arranged in the same direction. In each memorial device group 2, a row 2a composed of a plurality of memorial devices 10 arranged in one direction is arranged in a staircase pattern in the other direction orthogonal to the one direction. The memorial device 10 in one row 2a and the memorial devices 10 in the other row 2b adjacent to the one row 2a are arranged so as to be shifted from the front direction of the memorial device 10. According to such an arrangement of a plurality of memorial devices 10, the target memorial device 10 can be smoothly visited.

  Each memorial device 10 arranged in the worship area A <b> 2 is connected to the control unit 60. The control unit 60 can control the light control sheet 40 of each memorial device 10 independently of the light control sheets 40 of other memorial devices 10. Therefore, by keeping the light control sheet 40 of the target memorial device 10 in a low haze state and keeping the light control sheets 40 of the other memorial device 10 in a high haze state, the target storage platform main body 11 can be visually recognized. On the other hand, the other storage platform main body 11 can be made difficult to see.

  Input means 61 for inputting information is arranged in the entrance area A1. The input means 61 can adopt various forms as long as information necessary for specifying the memorial device 10 to be worshiped is input. As an example, the input means 61 may be configured by a plurality of switches provided corresponding to each of the memorial devices 10. In this case, the control unit 60 is configured by a programmable controller (PLC), for example. Alternatively, the input unit 61 may be an IC card reader that reads an IC card individually distributed to a worshiper, and the control unit 60 may be a PLC or a personal computer (PC). In the example shown in FIG. 8, the input means 61 and the control part 60 show the example which consists of a personal computer with which the mouse | mouth and the keyboard were connected. Based on the information input to the input means 61, the control unit 60 identifies the target memorial device 10 and informs the worshiper. Examples of the method of notifying the worshiper include a method of indicating the position of the target memorial device 10 on a monitor of a personal computer and a method of lighting the target memorial device 10.

  Next, a worship method using the memorial facility 1 having such a configuration will be described.

  The visiting worshiper inputs necessary information to the input means 61 provided in the entrance area A1. Specifically, information for specifying the target memorial device 10 such as an identification number and the name of the owner is input to the personal computer. Based on the information input to the input means 61, the control unit 60 identifies the target memorial device 10 and informs the worshiper. For example, the position of the target memorial device 10 is displayed on the monitor of the personal computer. Thereafter, the worshiper enters the worship area A2 through the door 5.

  Further, based on the information input to the input means 61, the control unit 60 keeps the light control sheet 40 of the target memorial device 10 in a low haze state, and controls the light control sheets 40 of the other memorial devices 10 to high haze. Control to keep the state. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult to see the other storage platform main body 11 while making the storage platform main body 11 to be visible visible. Typically, since it is assumed that a plurality of worshipers enter the worship area A2 at the same time, the number of the target memorial devices 10 is not limited to one.

  The worshiper who has entered the worship area A2 heads for the memorial device 10 as the specified object.

  Next, a method of worship using the memorial facility 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  First, a visiting worshiper enters a worship area 111 provided in the worship unit 110. Before worshiping, the light control sheet 40 is kept in a high haze state. Since the light control sheet 40 scatters the transmitted light in the high haze state, the moving region 112 of the worship unit 110 is hardly observed over the light control sheet 40. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the storage platform main body 11 other than the target storage platform main body 11 from being visually recognized by the worshiper.

  Subsequently, the target storage platform main body 11 is transferred from the storage space 122 of the storage unit 120 to the transfer machine 131. The storage platform main body 11 transferred to the transfer machine 131 is conveyed by the conveyor 132 to the worship position P1 in the worship unit 110. When the storage platform main body 11 reaches the worship position P1, a voltage is applied to the light control sheet 40, and the light control sheet 40 is maintained in a low haze state. In the low haze state, the light control sheet 40 transmits incident light without greatly bending the traveling direction, so that the storage platform main body 11 that has reached the worship position P <b> 1 is observed through the light control sheet 40. As a result, the worshiper can worship through the transparent light control sheet 40.

  When the worshiper's worship is over, the storage platform body 11 at the worship position P <b> 1 is conveyed to the transfer machine 131 by the conveyor 132. Subsequently, the storage platform main body 11 is transferred from the transfer machine 131 to the storage space 122 of the storage unit 120.

  As described above, according to the memorial facility 100 of the present embodiment, the worship unit 110 provided with the worship area 111 and the storage unit 120 that stores a plurality of storage platform main bodies 11 on which the urns 12 or position are placed. And a transfer platform 130 for moving the storage platform main body 11 stored in the storage unit 120 to the worship position P1 in the worship unit 110, and the worship unit 110 is disposed at the worship location P1. Is isolated from the worship area 111, and the isolation wall 113 has a front plate 30 including a light control sheet 40 that can be switched between a high haze state and a low haze state. According to such a form, the light control sheet 40 becomes cloudy by keeping the light control sheet 40 of the front plate 30 in a high haze state. Thereby, it becomes difficult to see the movement area | region 112 containing the worship position P1 through the light control sheet 40, and it can prevent that the storage platform main body 11 other than the target storage platform main body 11 is observed by a worshiper. On the other hand, the light control sheet 40 becomes transparent by keeping the light control sheet 40 in a low haze state. Thereby, the worshiper can worship the storage platform body 11 that has reached the worship position P <b> 1 through the transparent light control sheet 40. That is, according to the memorial device 10 of the present embodiment, the other storage platform main body 11 can be made difficult to be visually recognized by the worshiper by keeping the light control sheet 40 in a high haze state. Thereby, in order to make the other storage platform | body main body 11 difficult to visually recognize, the opening and closing of the door performed conventionally is unnecessary. As a result, it is not necessary to secure a door opening / closing space, and the memorial space can be used effectively.

  Moreover, according to the memorial equipment 100 of this Embodiment, the light control sheet 40 will be in a high haze state when a voltage is not applied, and a normal mode type haze which will be in a low haze state when a voltage is applied. A switching method is adopted. In this case, the worship position P1 and the moving area 112 are concealed in a state where no voltage is applied. That is, the worship position P1 and the moving area 112 can be concealed without using power. Therefore, typically, the non-use time is longer than the use time, and from the viewpoint of reducing power consumption, when the voltage is applied, the haze state is low and when the voltage is not applied, the high haze state is obtained. It is preferable to adopt a normal mode type haze switching method.

  In addition, although the some modification with respect to embodiment mentioned above was demonstrated above, naturally, it is also possible to apply combining several modifications suitably.
