ABSTRACT:
An electrochromic display having enlarged surface area of the electrochromic material for rapid coloration and rapid bleaching yet fabricated so as to prevent corrosion of the electrode by the electrolyte. In a first embodiment, the display includes a conductive electrode formed on a substrate; a protective layer formed on the conductive electrode; a porous layer of an electrochromic material formed on the protective layer; a counter electrode formed apart from the porous layer; and an electrolyte disposed between the porous layer and the counter electrode. The protective layer is fabricated from a dense layer of an electrochromic material and the conductive electrode is fabricated from a metal non-reactive with the electrolyte. The porous layer is in direct contact with the conductive electrode. In a second embodiment, the electrode is made from a conductive material that is non-reactive with the electrolyte.
