  • ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLABLE SYSTEM AND GLAZING UNIT HAVING A FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT FOR CONTROLLING LIGHT TRANSMISSION THAT INCLUDES AT LEAST ONE TRANSPARENT LAYER SLOWING PHOTO REDUCTION DEGRADATION OF AN ACTIVE ELEMENT
    Patent number: 6621534
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is an electrically controllable system having variable light scattering and/or transmission, comprising a functional film (1, 21) provided with electrically conducting layers (2, 3, 22, 23), the said film having active elements in the form of polarizing particles, or of liquid crystals associated with dichroic dyes, and in suspension in a medium. The said system is provided with one or more means preventing/compensating for degradation by photoreduction of at least some of the active elements, especially degradation of the dichroic dyes and/or that of the polarizing particles.
    Type: Grant

  • Glazing with variable optical and/or energetic properties
    Patent number: 6466298
    Abstract: A glazing is described, which includes at least one active layer and at least one reflecting coating on the active layer. A pane, partition, mirror, or door is also described that includes the glazing. A method for making is also described. The glazing exhibits superior thermal and radiative durability, and is capable of modulating the optical appearance of the active layer.
