Abstract
The present disclosure repeatedly supplies, when controlling gradation of transmittance, a first voltage for advancing an electrochemical reaction for decreasing transmittance of an electrochromic layer and a second voltage for advancing an electrochemical reaction for increasing the transmittance of the electrochromic layer, in a time domain in which the electrochemical reaction of the electrochromic layer in the electrodes progresses in the first region and transmittance change of the first region is not visible.
