Abstract
An electrochromic device includes a first conductive layer, a dual-layer ion conductor layer, and a second conductive layer. The first ion conductor layer and the second ion conductor layer are formed from different materials and/or by different processes. The layers are deposited using PVD, CVD, or plating techniques.
Claims32
A method for forming an electrochromic device, comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a first conductive electrochromic layer;
- (b) forming a first ion conductor layer over the first conductive layer;
- (c) forming a second ion conductor layer over the first ion conductor layer, wherein the second ion conductor layer is formed from a different material or using a different deposition technique than the first ion conductor layer;
- (d) forming at least one additional ion conductor layer over the second ion conductor layer, wherein each additional ion conductor layer is formed from a different material or using a different deposition technique than the previously formed ion conductor layer;
- and
- (e) forming a second conductive counter electrode layer over the last formed additional ion conductor layer.
