In the light control device 10 according to one mode of the present invention, a plurality of liquid crystal optical elements 13 are arrayed between two transparent plates having a curved surface, and the liquid crystal optical elements 13 are bonded to a first transparent plate 11 by a gel, elastic, transparent resin layer 14. The liquid crystal optical elements 13 and the second transparent plate 12 have a sealed space 16 formed therebetween. By using the gel, elastic, transparent resin layer to fix only one side of each of the liquid crystal optical elements 13 to the first transparent plate 11, the liquid crystal optical elements 13 are fixed to the curved surface of the first transparent plate 11, and a stress is prevented from being transmitted to the liquid crystal optical elements 13. |
