Variable transmission electrochromic window and associated aircraft window system
First Claim
1. A variable transmission electrochromic window, comprising:
- a first substantially transparent substrate having an electrically conductive material associated therewith;
a second substantially transparent substrate having an electrically conductive material associated therewith;
an electrochromic medium contained within a chamber positioned between the first and second substrates, the electrochromic medium comprising;
a solvent;
an anodic electroactive material;
a cathodic electroactive material; and
a cross-linked polymer matrix;
wherein;
at least one of the anodic and cathodic electroactive materials is electrochromic; and
the electrochromic window exhibits an Ev of less than approximately 20 while in a low transmission state during normal daylight conditions.
