Abstract

A light control film includes two transparent electroconductive resin substrates each having a transparent electroconductive film and a transparent resin substrate; and a light control layer sandwiched between the transparent electroconductive film sides of the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates. The transparent electroconductive film of one transparent electroconductive resin substrate having a primer layer is cut through a cutting line to have a shape of a picture or character, and the cutting line is in a form that a start point for the cutting and an end point for the cutting make a closed region. The closed region of the picture of character is electrically insulated from the transparent electroconductive film around the shape of the picture or character. The light control film enables to improve adhesiveness between film matrix and substrates and to provide stable control function.

Claims (14)

1. A light control film, comprising: two transparent electroconductive resin substrates each having a transparent electroconductive film and a transparent resin substrate; and a light control layer sandwiched between the transparent electroconductive film sides of the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates,

the light control layer being containing: a resin matrix; and a light control suspension dispersed in the resin matrix,

wherein at least one of the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates has, on the transparent electroconductive film side thereof, a primer layer,

the transparent electroconductive film and the transparent resin substrate of the at least one of the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates having the primer layer, are cut through a cutting line to have a shape of a picture or character,

the cutting line is in a form that a start point for the cutting and an end point for the cutting make a closed region, and

the closed region of the picture or character is electrically insulated from the transparent electroconductive film of the transparent electroconductive resin substrate around the shape of the picture or character.

2. The light control film according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting line is made by use of a cutting plotter.

3. A light control film, comprising: two transparent electroconductive resin substrates each having a transparent electroconductive film and a transparent resin substrate; and a light control layer sandwiched between the transparent electroconductive film sides of the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates,

the light control layer containing: a resin matrix; and a light control suspension dispersed in the resin matrix,

wherein at least one of the two transparent electroconductive resin substrates has, on the transparent electroconductive film side thereof, a primer layer,

the transparent electroconductive film and the primer layer of the one transparent electroconductive resin substrate having the primer layer, are cut through a cutting line to have a shape of a picture or character,

the cutting line is in a form that a start point for the cutting and an end point for the cutting make a closed region, and

the closed region of the picture or character is electrically insulated from the transparent electroconductive film of the transparent electroconductive resin substrate around the shape of the picture or character.

4. The light control film according to claim 3 , wherein the cutting line is made by use of a cutting plotter.
