Abstract:
A supported or self-supporting electrochromic device comprising:at least one electrochromic element comprising (i) at least one material that is electrically conducting in at least one oxidation state and (ii) at least one electrochromic material, wherein said materials (i) and (ii) can be the same or different, at least one layer of a solidified electrolyte which is in direct electrical contact with said electrochromic element, and at least two electrodes adapted to be electrically connected to a voltage supply so as to create a difference in potential therebetween; each of said electrodes being in direct electrical contact with at least one of said electrolyte layer(s) and not in direct electrical contact with said electrochromic element.
