Abstract
A method of manufacturing an electrochromic device, which includes the steps of: (a) forming a plurality of nano-electrochromic elements on a transparent conductor of a transparent conductor substrate, wherein the nano-electrochromic elements are bonded together to form an electrochromic layer on the transparent conductor substrate so as to define a reaction surface of the electrochromic layer; (b) applying an electrolyte on the electrochromic layer; and (c) electrolyzing the electrolyte such that ions in the electrolyte are displaced into the electrochromic layer through the reaction surface thereof to alter an optical characteristic of the electrochromic elements.

A method of manufacturing an electrochromic device, comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a plurality of nano-electrochromic elements on a transparent conductor substrate, wherein said nano-electrochromic elements are bonded together to form an electrochromic layer on said transparent conductor substrate so as to define a reaction surface of said electrochromic layer;
- (b) applying an electrolyte on said electrochromic layer;
- and
- (c) electrolyzing said electrolyte such that ions in said electrolyte are displaced into said electrochromic layer through said reaction surface thereof to alter an optical characteristic of said electrochromic elements.
An electrochromic device, comprising:
- first and second transparent conductor substrate;
- an electrochromic layer formed on said transparent conductor substrate, wherein said electrochromic layer comprises a plurality of nano-electrochromic elements bonded together to define a reaction surface of said electrochromic layer;
- and
- an electrolyte applied on said electrochromic layer such that ions in said electrolyte are displaced into said electrochromic layer through said reaction surface thereof to alter said optical characteristic of said electrochromic layer when said transparent conductor substrate is subject to a predetermined potential difference.
