  • Patent number: 9164345
    Abstract: An electrochromic module including a first substrate and a second substrate is provided in which the first and/or the second substrate are/is electrically conductive or are/is equipped with an electrically conductive coating. An electrochromic polymer coating is arranged on the substrate or the conductive coating, an ion storage layer is arranged on the substrate or the conductive coating, and a polymer gel electrolyte is disposed in an electrically in-series connection between the electrochromic coating and the ion storage layer. The electrochromic polymer is a polymer of tetraarylbenzidine and (hetero)aromatic diol, which can be switched reversibly between redox states in a voltage-controlled manner. The condensation polymer is colorless in one redox state and colored in at least two redox states.

  • Publication number: 20130335800
    Abstract: An electrochromic module including a first substrate and a second substrate is provided in which the first and/or the second substrate are/is electrically conductive or are/is equipped with an electrically conductive coaling. An electrochromic polymer coating is arranged on the substrate or the conductive coaling, an ion storage layer is arranged on the substrate or the conductive coating, and a polymer gel electrolyte is disposed in an electrically in-series connection between the electrochromic coating and the ion storage layer. The electrochromic polymer is a polymer of tetraarylbenzidine and (hetero)aromatic diol, which can be switched reversibly between redox states in a voltage-controlled manner. The condensation polymer is colourless in one redox state and colored in at least two redox states.
