We have successfully demonstrated a control device for viewing angle that enables switching two states between a wide‐viewing angle and a narrow‐viewing angle. It consists of a light‐transmitting portion formed with an array of optical micro‐rods and shielding/transmitting changeable portion designed with electrophoretic materials. The response time from the narrow‐viewing to wide‐viewing angle was one second at 20 V of applied voltage.
