Estimating the term…
An electrochromic device (ECD) includes an electrochromic cell and, optionally, one or more additional electrochromic cells where all cells are parallel, and where at least one of the electrodes of one of the cells comprises a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) film The electrochromic cells allow the control of transmittance of two or more different portions of the electro-magnetic spectrum through the ECD. One cell can control the transmittance of visible radiation while the other cell can control the transmittance of IR radiation. The ECD can be employed as a “smart window” to control the heat and light transmission through the window. The ECD can be in the form of a laminate that can be added to an existing window.
An electrochromic device (ECD), comprising a first electrochromic cell and, optionally, one or more additional electrochromic cells wherein all cells are parallel to and are electrically separated from each other, wherein each of the cells is independently controlled and at least one of the cells comprises an electrode comprising a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) film, and wherein the first cell comprises a first electrochromic layer that changes in transmittance of radiation from a first portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and the additional cells comprise additional electrochromic layers that individually change in transmittance of radiation from additional portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
