Abstract:
1. An image forming device comprising: an image forming element; means for irradiating light onto the image forming element; and means for applying a stimulus to a structure variable body whose structure can be changed by a stimulus; wherein the image forming element comprises a film in which rod-shaped bodies are oriented and have said structure variable body bonded to at least one of an end portion and a peripheral side surface thereof, and which reflects, as interference light, a light irradiated by the means for irradiating, and the interference light has a wavelength of 300 to 810 nm, wherein the image forming device has a plurality of pixels which have at least: an image forming element for reflecting incident light as blue interference light in a case in which the structure variable body has a first structure and for reflecting incident light as colorless interference light in a case in which the structure variable body has a second structure, an image forming element for reflecting incident light as green interference light in a case in which the structure variable body has a first structure and for reflecting incident light as colorless interference light in a case in which the structure variable body has a second structure, and an image forming element for reflecting incident light as red interference light in a case in which the structure variable body has a first structure and for reflecting incident light as colorless interference light in a case in which the structure variable body has a second structure.
