PARALLEL CONTROLLED ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICES FOR MODULATION OF VISIBLE AND INFRARED RADIATION

摘要

1. An electrochromic device (ECU) comprising a first electrochromic cell and optionally one or more additional electrochromic cells, all cells being parallel and electrically isolated from each other, each cell being independently controlled, and at least one of cells contains an electrode containing a film based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the first cell containing a first electrochromic layer that changes the transmission of radiation from the first part of the electromagnetic of the spectrum, and the additional cells contain additional electrochromic layers that individually change the light transmittance of the additional portions of the electromagnetic spektra.2. An electrochromic device according to claim 1, characterized in that the electrochromic cells further comprise a charge equalization layer separated from the electrochromic layer by means of an electrolyte layer that is located between the electrode on the substrate and the counter electrode on the second substrate. An electrochromic device according to claim 2, characterized in that the electrode or counter electrode of the first electrochromic cell uses a common substrate together with the electrode or counter electrode of one of the additional electrochromic cells. An electrochromic device according to claim 1, characterized in that the first electrochromic layer contains a first electrochromic material that changes the transmittance of visible radiation, and the additional electrochromic layer contains an additional electrochromic material that changes the transmittance of infrared radiation. Electrochromic device according to claim 1, characterized in that
