  • Electrochromic device employing gel or solid polymers having specific channel direction for the conduction of ions
    Patent number: 7403319
    Abstract: An electrochromic device in which specific channel direction for the conduction of ions is implemented. As a result ionic crosstalk between display pixels is greatly reduced and unwanted transient coloration effects are minimized. Further, specific gel, polymer, or ionic liquid solutions can greatly eliminate the corrosive effects associated with the use of electrolyte salt solutions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 12, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2008
    Assignee: NTERA Limited
    Inventors: Nigel Leyland, David Corr, Micheal Cassidy, Francois Pichot, Nikolaos Vlachopoulos, Michael Ryan
  • Method and system for lowering the drive potential of an electrochromic device
    Publication number: 20070188841
    Abstract: An electrochromic (EC) device having a low starting potential, thereby having a lower drive potential is disclosed. A potential is applied to the EC device to lower the starting potential. Methods and systems for manufacturing EC devices and adjusting the drive potential of an existing EC device are also disclosed.
