Zusammenfassung:To provide a liquid crystal composition for a smart window that operates autonomously, using solely solar light as an energy source, without using electric energy, and a liquid crystal light control element including the same.SOLUTION: A liquid crystal composition according to an embodiment includes: a non-polymerizable liquid crystal compound (LB) that shows a smectic A phase at room temperature and a chiral nematic phase at temperatures higher than the smectic A phase; and a dye including at least one photoisomer group.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】本実施形態によれば、本実施形態の課題は、電気エネルギーを使用することなく、太陽光のみをエネルギー源とし,自律的に駆動するスマートウィンドウ用液晶組成物、それを備える液晶調光素子を提供することができる。【解決手段】本実施形態の液晶組成物は、室温でスメクチックA相を示し、かつ当該スメクチックA相よりも高温側でキラルネマチック相を示す非重合性液晶化合物(LB)と、少なくとも1種の光異性基を有する色素とを含有する。【選択図】図1
