Abstract

See full text

To provide a self-dimming system including: a main body section which is configured by a pair of transparent substrates arranged to face each other and to be separated from each other, and a frame body holding the pair of transparent substrates and forming a gap together with the pair of transparent substrates; a dimming section which is arranged in the gap and provided with a dimming element whose optical properties are reversibly changed by hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of the dimming element; a power-generating equipment which is arranged in the main body section; a hydrogen suction and discharge section which, when receiving electric power generated in the power-generating equipment, generates hydrogen by performing electrolysis and supplies the hydrogen to the gap and which, when not receiving electric power generated in the power-generating equipment, generates electric power by using the hydrogen in the gap; and control means which controls whether or not electric power generated in the power-generating equipment is supplied to the hydrogen suction and discharge section.
