Abstract
The light control device is installed in a movable body, and comprises a light transmission/reception unit including an emission unit and a light receiving unit. The emission unit emits a light, and the light receiving unit receives the light reflected by an object around the movable body. The control unit controls the emission unit to continuously shift the light emitted by the emission unit in a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction such that a transition locus of the light emitted by the emission unit becomes helical.
