  • Publication number: 20200207187
    Abstract: A variable transmittance vehicle window may adjust its transmittance in response to readings from an interior light sensor that is positioned to measure intensity of at least one wavelength of light that is a proper subset of the visible spectrum and that has entered the interior of a vehicle comprising the window after passing through the window. If the intensity of light inside the vehicle is too high, the window is darkened; analogously, if the intensity of light inside the vehicle is too low, the window is lightened. Additionally or alternatively, the window may be transitioned to and maintained at an intermediate transmittance that is between the window's maximum and minimum transmittances.

  • Publication number: 20190369453
    Abstract: A layered structure for a variable transmittance optical filter includes a transparent conductive electrode and a substrate layer. The transparent conductive electrode includes a charge injection layer that has one or more of gold, molybdenum, palladium, reduced graphene oxide, amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO), platinum, nickel, ruthenium, rhodium, asmium, selenium, tellurium, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. The substrate layer includes a transparent substrate and is positioned relative to the transparent conductive electrode such that light passing through the transparent conductive electrode passes through the substrate layer.
