  • Patent number: 6642069
    Abstract: A pixel device comprising an electrochemical transistor device with a source and a drain contact; a gate electrode; an electrochemically active element in direct electrical contact with source and drain contacts, and comprising a transistor channel comprising an organic material; and a solidified electrolyte in direct electrical contact with the active element, and an electrochromic device comprising an electrochromic element comprising a material conducting in at least one oxidation state and an electrochromic material; a solidified electrolyte layer in direct electrical contact with the electrochromic element; and two electrodes for application of a voltage and in direct electrical contact with a component selected from the electrolyte layer(s); in which one of the source and drain contacts of the electrochemical transistor device is in electrical contact with one of the electrodes of the electrochromic device.

  • Publication number: 20020134980
    Abstract: A pixel device is provided, which comprises; (A) an electrochemical transistor device with a source and a drain contact; a gate electrode; an electrochemically active element arranged between, and in direct electrical contact with, the source and drain contacts, which electrochemically active element comprises a transistor channel and is of a material comprising an organic material having the ability of electrochemically altering its conductivity through change of redox state thereof; and a solidified electrolyte in direct electrical contact with the electrochemically active element and the gate electrode and interposed between them in such a way that electron flow between the electrochemically active element and said gate electrode(s) is prevented; whereby flow of electrons between source contact and drain contact is controllable by means of a voltage applied to said gate electrode(s), and (B) an electrochromic device comprising: an electrochromic element comprising (i) a material that is electrically conduc
