Advanced Longevity System for the Environmental Protection of Electrochromic Materials
SBC: ECLIPSE ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: AF06019Eclipse has a variable transmittance coating to meet the requirement for a single day/night visor for aircrews. The Eclipse Electrochromic Device (EclipseECD) is well suited for light modulation applications. The EclipseECD modulates transmitted light intensity over a broad range (80% to 20% transmission) by changing optical density under an applied electric field (1.5V). This process is reversed ...
