Electrolyte for an electrochromic display and an electrochromic display cell comprising this electrolyte. |
摘要 |
<p>There is disclosed an electrolyte for an electrochromic display of the kind in which a persistent coloured species of an electrochromic substance in solution is deposited onto a display electrode upon the passage of current therethrough. The electrolyte comprises an aqueous solution of a di-alkyl bipyridinium salt and a non-polymeric aliphatic alcohol in which either: (a) both alkyl groups of the bipyridinium salt have an odd number of carbon atoms and the alcohol has an even number of carbon atoms; or (b) both alkyl groups of the bipyridinium salt are have an even number of carbon atoms and the alcohol has an odd number of carbon atoms.</p><p>The alcohol inhibits recrystallisation (spotting) and non-erasure of the display electrodes. Particularly effective for 1,1' di-heptyl 4,4' bipyridinium dibromide, which has a severe lifetime problem, is n-hexanol.</p> |
