Electro-optic device
First Claim
1. Electro-optic device comprising a transparent conductive layer, an electrochromic layer applied on the said transparent layer, these two first elements constituting together a first electrode, a counter-electrode maintained at distance from the said first electrode, and an electrolyte ensuring an ionic binding between the electrode and the counter-electrode, characterized by the fact that the said electrolyte is made of solid or pasty organic material constituted by at least a polymer comprising ionic groups of the type used as ion-exchange materials, the said material of the electrolyte being chemically stable and compatible with that of the electrochromic layer.

Abstract
An electro-optic device comprising a transparent conductive layer, an electrochromic layer applied on the said transparent layer, these two first elements constituting together a first electrode, a counter-electrode maintained at distance from the said first electrode, and an electrolyte ensuring an ionic binding between the electrode and the counter-electrode. Preferably, the electrolyte is a polymer of linear molecules such as polystyrene sulfonic acid including a pigment.
A combination cell of a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membrane and polystyrene sulfonic acid is disclosed.
