摘要： A system of networked controllers includes one or more switchable optical filters, and the switchable optical filters are photochromic and electrochromic. The system also includes a master controller, and one or more slave controllers operably connected to the one or more switchable optical filters. At least one of the one or more slave controllers is communicatively coupled to the master controller. The master controller is configured to transmit a switching command to the at least one of the one or more slave controllers. Each slave controller is operable, in response to receiving the switching command, to cause a corresponding switchable optical filter to transition from a first state to a second state.

摘要： Dynamic mirror assemblies are disclosed that can vary the amount of light reflected, that include a mirror and a switching material. The switching material is placed between the mirror and a viewer, and has a dark state and a light state, and switches state in at least one direction due to a photochromic reaction, and switches in the other direction due to one or more of a photochromic reaction or an electrochromic reaction.

摘要： A diarylethene compound reversibly convertible under photochromic and electrochromic conditions between a ring-open isomer of Formula (1A) and a ring-closed isomer of Formula (IB) wherein R5 is a substituted phenyl ring and Re is a substituted thiophene ring is provided. The photochromic-electrochromic diarylethene compound of Formula (1A)/(1B) have improved photochromic, electrochromic or photochromic and electrochromic properties, and is useful to provide variation of the light transmission properties of optical filters. The compound also possesses improved solubility making it suitable for incorporation in commercial products.

摘要： An optical filter comprising a variable transmittance layer having a first spectrum in a dark state, and a second spectrum in a faded state; and a color balancing layer having a third spectrum; each of the first, second and third spectra comprising a visible portion; the first and third spectra combining to provide a dark state spectrum approximating a dark state target color, and the second and third spectra combining to provide a faded state spectrum approximating a faded state target color. The optical filter may further comprise a light attenuating layer. The optical filter may further comprise part of a laminated glass.

摘要： Dynamic mirror assemblies are disclosed that can vary the amount of light reflected, that include a mirror and a switching material. The switching material is placed between the mirror and a viewer, and has a dark state and a light state, and switches state in at least one direction due to a photochromic reaction, and switches in the other direction due to one or more of a photochromic reaction or an electrochromic reaction or a thermal reversion above a threshold temperature.

摘要： Layered assemblies are disclosed, that include a variable transmittance layer having opposing first and second sides; at least a first reflectance color-balancing layer positioned on the first side of the variable transmittance layer; and a transmittance color-balancing layer positioned on the first side or the second side of the variable transmittance layer. The variable transmittance layer may be variable between a dark state and a light state, and may have a dark state transmittance spectrum when in the dark state and a different light state transmittance spectrum when in the light state.

摘要： A simplified switchable object and methods of making same are provided. The methods may include steps of applying a switchable material on a first surface of a first substrate, the switchable material having a thickness and a shape; applying a barrier material on the first substrate, circumferential to the switchable material; and applying a second substrate over top of, and in contact with, the switchable material and the barrier material, the first substrate, second substrate and barrier material defining a closed chamber encapsulating the switchable material. The methods may further include a step of applying a seal material.
