ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICE

摘要

A supported or self-supporting electrochromic device is produced, comprising: - at least one electrochromic element comprising (i) at least one material that is electrically conducting in at least one oxidation state and (ii) at least one electrochromic material, wherein said materials (i) and (ii) can be the same or different, - at least one layer of a solidified electrolyte which is in direct electrical contact with said electrochromic element, and - at least two electrodes adapted to be electrically connected to a voltage supply so as to create a difference in potential therebetween; each of said electrodes being in direct electrical contact with at least one of said electrolyte layer(s) and not in direct electrical contact with said electrochromic element. Also provided are displays incorporating such a device, as well as processes for the production of such a device. A method for addressing an electrochemically active element is also provided.
