Controller configured for an electro-optic device and method thereof

摘要

A controller system configured to control an electrochromic device and method thereof are provided, wherein the controller system includes an electrochromic device having a first substantially transparent substrate, a second substantially transparent substrate approximately parallel to the first substantially transparent substrate such that a chamber is defined by the first and second substantially transparent substrates, and an electrochromic medium between the first and second substantially transparent substrates, and a controller in communication with the electrochromic device, wherein the controller is configured to monitor electrical power supplied to the electrochromic device and adjust the electrical power supplied to the electrochromic device to maintain the electrochromic device in an approximately minimum transmission state.

1. A controller system configured to control an electro-optic device, said controller system comprising:
an electro-optic device comprising:
a first substantially transparent substrate;a second substantially transparent substrate approximately parallel to said first substantially transparent substrate such that a chamber is defined by said first and second substantially transparent substrates; andan electro-optic medium between said first and second substantially transparent substrates; anda controller in communication with said electro-optic device, wherein said controller is configured to:monitor electrical power supplied to said electro-optic device;determine at least one of an approximate minima and an approximate maxima based on the monitoring; andadjust said electrical power supplied corresponding to at least one of the approximate minima and the approximate maxima, such that approximately a minimum potential is applied to said electro-optic device to maintain said electro-optic device in an approximately minimum transmission state.
