Abstract
A light control element includes three or more silicon thin-film layers () placed on a first dielectric layer (), second dielectric layers () placed between the three or more silicon thin-film layers (), and a third dielectric layer () placed to surround the silicon thin-film layers and the second dielectric layers. The three or more silicon thin-film layers are arranged to partially overlap with one anther. In the part where the silicon thin-film layers overlap, the second dielectric layers are placed between the silicon thin-film layers. In the three or more silicon thin-film layers, the silicon thin-film layers adjacent to each other have different conductivity types.
