Electrochromic thin films prepared by sol-gel process
New methods are shown for lower temperature preparation of amorphous tungsten oxide thin film and preparation of crystalline iridium oxide thin film by sol-gel process using metal chloride as the starting materials and ethanol as a solvent. These electrochromic materials were combined with gel solid electrolyte, and preparation of fully solid-state electrochromic display (ECD) was made. The transmittance of the ECD could be made to change by 35% by applying a voltage of 3 V for 0.2sec.
