  • Patent number: 9664975
    Abstract: In an electrochromic device, upper and lower electrodes are formed respectively on upper and lower substrates, and an electrochromic laminate is sandwiched between upper and lower central regions of the upper and lower electrodes. A looped spacer is disposed between the upper and lower electrodes to surround the electrochromic laminate. A rib member extends from the looped spacer and is fitted in a slot of the upper electrode. An upper electrode contact is disposed between the looped spacer and an upper marginal region of the upper electrode. A lower electrode contact is disposed between the looped spacer and a lower marginal region of the lower electrode.

  • Patent number: 9091897
    Abstract: A transmittance control method of electrochromic element, mainly comprising the following step: firstly, a total current flux input required is obtained by adding current value of each second together by the relationship between different current value and different rate of change of the electrochromic element obtained in terms of the same transmittance and different input voltages, then the total current flux for fixed transmittance is input into the electrochromic element in usage so as to achieve a transmittance of fixed value. In this manner, the electrochromic element can quickly achieve a transmittance of fixed value in precise manner, without repeated adjustment. Further, there is not such case happened as to influence the accuracy of its transmittance even after aging time lapse.

  • Publication number: 20140224966
    Abstract: An anti-glare mirror has opposite reflecting and back sides, and includes a plurality of electro-chromic units disposed in a casing, a first light sensor, a plurality of second light sensors, and a processor. The first light sensor is disposed on the casing, and is operable for sensing ambient brightness incident upon the back side. The second light sensors are disposed on the casing at positions corresponding to the electro-chromic units, respectively, and are operable for sensing ambient brightness incident upon the reflecting side. The processor compares the ambient brightness detected by the first light sensor and by the second light sensors, and determines whether to drive the electro-chromic units to vary in reflectance.

  • Patent number: 8801220
    Abstract: A color temperature adjusting device of a light source module is revealed. The light source module includes at least one light source and at least one electrochromic device arranged at one side of the light source with a light emitting surface. The light source module is electrically connected to a control module. The control module consists of a light-source driver circuit and a control circuit for electrochromic devices that controls colored/bleached state of the electrochromic device. The light-source driver circuit is used to drive the light source to emit light. After passing through the electrochromic device, a light source is turned into a warm color light source or a cool color light source.
