Abstract: Provided is a laminate which can not only control the amount of external light transmitted, but can also be used as a mirror. A laminate 1 comprises: a first liquid crystal member 100; a reflection type polarizing member 200; and a second liquid crystal member 300. The first liquid crystal member has first liquid crystal cells with changing orientation states, and a first absorption type polarizing member.

Abstract: A liquid crystal light control apparatus includes a liquid crystal light control film and power supply device that drives liquid crystal light control film. Liquid crystal light control film has a structure wherein liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between paired transparent electrode layers, and used by being adhered to a large transparent member. Power supply device supplies a predetermined AC voltage between terminals a and b of liquid crystal light control film. A condition |Z0|??×RF is set where RF is a DC resistance between terminals a and b of liquid crystal light control film, |Z0| is an output impedance between terminals A and B of power supply device, and predetermined coefficient ?=0.2. In order to protect power supply device, condition Vp/Imax?|Z0|??×RF is set where Vp is output peak voltage of power supply device and Imax is maximum allowable current.
