Abstract
A light-controlling device contains a plurality of compounds, wherein the plurality of compounds are compounds having different absorption wavelengths, the light-controlling device has a variable transmittance VT(λ) obtained by combining light absorption characteristics changes of the plurality of compounds, and CR<CRis satisfied. CRis a maximum value among ratios of a signal strength ratio of transmitted light in a transmission state and a signal strength ratio of transmitted light in a light reduction state (light reduction state/transmission state or transmission state/light reduction state) in detection light wavelength regions of a photodetector. CRis CRat a concentration ratio of the plurality of compounds at which wavelength flatness TF of VT(λ) in the detection light wavelength regions has a minimum value TF.
