The subject invention pertains to electrochromic polymers and polymer electrochromic devices. In a specific embodiment, two complementary polymers can be matched and incorporated into dual polymer electrochromic devices. The anodically coloring polymers in accordance with the subject invention can allow control over the color, brightness, and environmental stability of an electrochromic window. In addition, high device contrast ratios, high transmittance changes, and high luminance changes can be achieved, along with half-second switching times for full color change. Also provided are electrochromic devices such as advertising signage, video monitors, stadium scoreboards, computers, announcement boards, warning systems for cell phones, warning/information systems for automobiles, greeting cards, electrochromic windows, billboards, electronic books, and electrical wiring. The subject invention also provides for the use of complementary electrochromic polymers in the manufacture of electrochromic devices. In some embodiments, the devices of the invention can be prepared using metal vapor deposition or line patterning.
本发明涉及电致变色聚合物和聚合物电致变色器件。在一个特定的实施例中,可以将两种互补的聚合物配对并纳入双聚合物电致变色器件中。根据本发明的阳极着色聚合物可以允许控制电致变色窗户的颜色、亮度和环境稳定性。此外,可以实现高对比度比、高透射率变化和高亮度变化,以及半秒钟的全彩色变换时间。还提供了电致变色器件,例如广告标志、视频监视器、体育场记分牌、计算机、公告牌、手机警告系统、汽车警告/信息系统、贺卡、电致变色窗户、广告牌、电子书和电气布线。本发明还提供了在制造电致变色器件时使用互补电致变色聚合物的方法。在一些实施例中,可以使用金属蒸汽沉积或线路图案制备本发明的器件。
