  • Method for deposition of electrochromic layers
    Patent number: 4996083
    Abstract: The specification discloses a method for coating a substrate with electrochromic coatings by dipping a substrate having a conductive surface into, or spraying, or spin coating with, a solution prepared by reacting an anhydrous halide of an electrochromically active transition metal with a C.sub.1 to C.sub.5 anhydrous alcohol, most preferably under a stream of inert gas, at 0 to 80 degrees C. The dipped substrate is removed at a rate necessary to give a desired thickness, and the resulting coating is dried and hydrolyzed and further condensed to create an electrochromically active coating.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 12, 1989
    Date of Patent: February 26, 1991
    Assignee: Donnelly Corporation
    Inventors: Frank H. Moser, Niall R. Lynam
  • Electrochromic coating and method for making same
    Patent number: 4959247
    Abstract: Transition metal nitrates such as nickel nitrate are dissolved in monoalcohols having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms. The coatings are applied to a substrate material and fired to convert the coating to an electrochromically active state.
