Abstract: The invention relates to devices that provide a color change under the influence of an electric voltage, in particular to an electrochromic device and a method for manufacturing such a device. Disclosed is the method for manufacturing an electrochromic device comprising at least two electrodes that are flexible and optically transparent with a hermetically closed space between the electrodes filled with an electrochromic composition that may contain transparent and insoluble microparticles that function as spacers.
Abstract: Flexible plastic screen for glasses, sunglasses or helmet faceshields with controlled light transmission based on applied electrical voltage. The screen consists of two transparent flexible conductive polymer electrodes disposed and an electrochromic layer disposed between them. The electrochromic layer is a homogeneous mixture of active electrochromic components dissolved in a polymer matrix. The electrochromic screen is operable to vary the light transmission of any wearable electro-optical devices, such as the glasses, for creating an effect of a blackout for augmented/virtual reality glasses.

Abstract: Electrochromic compositions for use in devices with electrically controlled absorption of light such as light filters of variable optical density, light emission modulators, and information image displays. The described electrochromic compositions may be used, for example, for creating light-transmitting coatings of buildings for controlling indoor microclimate by regulating the flow of natural light. Specifically, described is an exemplary organic electrochromic composition that is based on biocompatible and biodegradable components and is characterized by an increased service life, a high rate of light-transmission change. The described electrochromic compositions may be prepared in a wide range of light-absorption spectra and coating colors.
