However, the daylight sensor in the control system of the above-mentioned conventional solar light abatement device has a dimming member which is opened / closed by a judgment based on the illuminance level of the sun without distinguishing between diffused light and direct light. Since the control was performed, for example, when the illuminance level is not very high, such as in cloudy weather, but there is direct light, the daylight control device opens by judgment based on the illuminance level, so direct light is incident and dazzles people in the room. It made us feel uncomfortable and could not provide a proper visual work environment.

This direct light is one component when the sunlight is divided into direct light and diffused light, and the former is absorption and scattering by air molecules, water, water vapor and fine particles contained in the atmosphere of the earth. Is the light that directly escapes to the ground and the latter is scattered in the atmosphere regardless of the direction of the sun,
Light that reaches the earth from all directions in the sky. The intensity of these two lights on the ground depends on the absorption and scattering properties of the atmosphere, the position of the sun, and the direction of the light-receiving surface. The former is directional, while the latter is diffusive. Therefore, there is a big difference in the arrival amount on a specific surface. In other words, since direct light is obtained only on the surface that the sun can see, its value varies greatly depending on the orientation of the surface, while diffuse light is obtained on all surfaces that the sky can see, so its value is Although it depends on the desired size of the sky, the difference in the orientation of the surface is relatively small.
