Abstract
A reflection-type optical control element has an optical control layer whose state is reversibly changed between a transparent state caused by hydrogenation and a reflective state caused by dehydrogenation, a catalyst layer that accelerates the hydrogenation and the dehydrogenation in the optical control layer, and an oxidation inhibition member that is arranged between the optical control layer and the catalyst layer and inhibits oxidation of the optical control layer that is caused by oxygen that permeates through the catalyst layer.
