Abstract:
1. A light control system comprising: first and second substrates each having an optical aperture; at least one light control means provided with a magnetic rotary shaft member; a spacer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate to provide a space that allows the light control means to move; drive means arranged on the first substrate, for causing the light control means to move with supply of current to a coil; command means for outputting a command signal indicating a direction of rotation of the light control means; detection means for detecting electromotive force generated in the coil; switch means for connecting the coil to the drive means in a driving state in which current is supplied to the coil and connecting the coil to the detection means in a non-driving state in which electromotive force generated in the coil is detected; determination means for determining a rotational state of the rotary shaft member, based on an output signal output from the detection means; and control means for outputting a command for causing the drive means to output a drive signal, based on an output signal output from the determination means.
