A normal mode property of which a light‐scattering state electrically changes to a transparent state and a reverse mode with the opposite switching property are demonstrated in an oriented reactive mesogen and liquid crystal composite cell. The light‐scattering domain is produced in the transparent cell by partly irradiated with a UV light under a suitable voltage application. Scattering and transparent patterns simultaneously electrically turn to the transparent and scattering patterns without electrode partitions.
