Photochromic devices
First Claim
1. A photochromic device comprising (i) a first conducting electrode opposing a second conducting electrode, wherein at least one of said electrodes is transparent, (ii) a radiation sensitive electrode disposed on an opposing surface of said first conducting electrode, (iii) an interconnecting medium containing a redox promoter disposed between said second conducting electrode and said radiation sensitive electrode, (iv) an electrical connection means for electrically connecting said first conducting electrode and said second conducting electrode and at least one of:
- (a) a first ion intercalative electrode disposed between said interconnecting medium and said second conducting electrode;
(b) a second ion intercalative electrode disposed between said radiation sensitive electrode and said interconnecting medium; and
(c) a redox active species in said interconnecting medium.
