There is provided a light adjuster which is capable of improving
handleability thereof and preventing the occurrence of operation failure.
A light adjuster 103 is comprised of a pair of PET films 109a and 109b
that sandwich a liquid crystal layer 108 therebetween, transparent
electrically conductive films 110a and 110b that are provided on
respective facing surfaces of the pair of PET films 109a and 109b, and an
electrode structure provided at one end of the light adjuster 103. The
electrode structure is comprised of a connecting base formed of a silver
paste 111 that is applied to an exposed part of the transparent
electrically conductive film 110b, a copper tape 112 that is stuck on the
upper surface of the silver paste 111, and a tabular connector 113 made
of a metal that is pressed onto the copper tape 112 at one end thereof. A
lead line 115 is secured to the other end of the connector 113 by solder
114 to supply power from an external power source. The thickness of the
electrode structure is not less than the value of the combined thickness
of the liquid crystal layer 108, the transparent electrically conductive
film 110a, and the PET film 109a.
