Abstract:
An EC composite material (10) is capable of transmitting light and is usable in an ECD that has an optical substrate and conductor structure connected to a power supply (16). The EC composite material is positionable on the optical substrate and connectable to the power supply via the conductor structure. Power input results in the composite material changing from substantially colorless transparent condition to a substantially colored transparent condition. The EC composite material includes plural outer layers, a central EC layers, a central EL layer with a top and bottom surface, and a central IS layer. There is also a buffer layer material that improves bidirectionnal charge transfer between the electrochromic layer and the ion-storage layer. The composite material also includes a supply of mobile ions, a contact structure (12) connected to the layers and connectable to such conductor structure to allow such power-input.

The present invention refers to a bullet- and blast-resistant window (40), in particular for use in a motor vehicle, which comprises a ballistic block (41) having a peripheral face and a plurality of panes of glass, ceramic or plastic material bonded to each other over their surfaces in a layered composite, and interposed bonding interlayers of plastic material or adhesive, wherein an edge groove (41.31) having slopes at least partly inclined for engagement with a part of the vehicle body (51.2) and extending on and along at least a part of the peripheral edge of the window (40).
Abstract:
An electrochromic device for use in the field of optical lenses, such as eyewear or camera lenses. The device may also be used for windows, displays, mirrors or capacitors. The device comprises a substrate (12) having an expanse (18) and an edge region. A first electrode layer (28) is coated on the expanse and extends substantially across the expanse and into the edge region. An electrochromic layer (30) is coated on the first electrode so that the first electrode layer physically isolates the electrochromic layer from the substrate. A second electrode layer (32) is coated on the electrochromic layer, so that the electrochromic layer physically isolates the second electrode layer from the first electrode layer. A first contact (46) is electrically connected to the first electrode layer. An isolative barrier (50) is coated on the first electrode layer in the edge region. A second contact (48) is electrically connected to the second electrode layer. The isolative barrier electrically isolates the first contact from the second electrode layer and electrically isolates the second contact from the first electrode layer. In another embodiment, the invention comprises an edge-isolation channel formed in the edge region of the substrate. In another embodiment, the invention comprises a system including insulative material and a channel to achieve edge-wise electrical isolation and interconnection between the layers. The invention may also comprise a conductive elastomeric pad for electrically connecting a contact and a conductor. The invention also comprises a process for manufacturing an electrochromic device, the process including the steps of using a release agent. The invention also comprises a device and an associated process, for applying coating material to the perimeter of an eccentric substrate. The invention also comprises a process of mass producing large substrates with layers coated thereon such that the substrates can be stored, and thereafter cut to custom sizes. A channel is then cut in the custom-sized device to permit edge-wise electrical isolation and connection to power the device.
