    摘要: An optical disc is provided with an associated optical shutter. In a first state, the optical media interferes with the ability of an interrogating laser beam to read data from the optical media, and in a second state, the optical media is substantially transparent, enabling the laser beam to read the disc. A powering circuit is used to cause the optical shutter to transition from a first state to the second state. In one example, an integrated circuit acts as the powering circuit, as well as providing logic and processing functions. The integrated circuit also couples to an RF antenna, enabling the integrated circuit to communicate with an associated RF scanning device. The optical shutter may take various geometric shapes, and typically has an electrochromic material for facilitating state change. The electrochromic material may fill the shutter, or the material may form a pattern. The shutter may be positioned on the disk so that transition edge-effects are reduced, allowing for reduced interference with the laser beam when the optical shutter is in its clear state. The optical shutter does not cover the entire data area of the disc, and in one example, the optical shutter is quite small, allowing for lower cost production, as well as reducing power requirements to transition the electrochromic material. Power requirements may be further reduced by forming the electrochromic in a pattern. A small optical shutter may disable reading of disc, for example, by placing the small shutter over an important section of the disc, such as the lead-in area.

    摘要: An optical media is provided with an associated electro-optic material. The electro-optic material has at least two states. In a first state, the electro-optic material interferes with the ability of an interrogating laser beam to read data from the optical media, and in a second state, the electro-optic material is substantially transparent, enabling the laser beam to read the disc. Advantageously, the electro-optic material may be placed over less than the full data area of the disc. The optical media has an area for placing an integrated circuit, which is used to cause the electro-optic material to transition from a first state to the second state. In one example, an integrated circuit acts as the powering circuit for the electro-optic material, as well as providing logic and processing functions. The integrated circuit also couples to an RF antenna, enabling the integrated circuit to communicate with an associated RF scanning device. The disc has an area for holding the antenna, and the antenna may be in the disc, on the disc, or on a substrate that attaches to the disc.

    摘要: A transparent chromogenic assembly in which color changes are selectively effectable over predefined areas comprises a pair of facing transparent substrates (15, 21, 28) each covered with a conductive layer divided into individual energizeable areas each provided with a set of busbars (187, 188). A passive layer may be superimposed over one of the substrates, its color being chosen so that the color and the transmissivity of the passive layer accommodates the range of color change and transmissivity of the electrochromic layer to maintain the transmitted color of the panel in a warm or neutral shade. Various other chromogenic windows, devices and systems are also disclosed.
