Abstract
In the last 10 years Gesimat has developed a large-area electrochromic glazing with an advanced polymer electrolyte and tungsten oxide and Prussian Blue as complementary electrochromic layers. This electrochromic glass has a switching range between 75% and 8% visible transmittance and between 56% and 6% solar transmittance. The polymer electrolyte is based on polyvinyl butyral (PVB), a polymer in use as an interlayer for laminated safety glass since more than 60 years. The electrochromic films are deposited by a new large-area electrodeposition process. For lamination the standard methods of laminated safety glass production can be used.
