SWITCHABLE ELECTROCHROMIC DEVICES FOR USE IN TRANSPARENT WINDOWS OF AIRCRAFT Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: assembly of electrochromic aircraft window contains: a) assembly of outer window glass panes; and b) assembly of counter-veiling electrochromic glass panes, positioned at a distance from outer glass panes assembly and forming a chamber between them. Assembly of counter-veiling electrochromic glass panes has: first substrate, having first surface, containing first conductive covering, and second surface, containing second conductive covering; second substrate, positioned at a distance from first substrate, while second substrate has first covering, containing third conductive covering, while second surface of first substrate and first surface of second substrate are directed to one another and are at a distance from each other with forming of chamber between them; electrochromic environment in chamber and being in contact with second and third conductive elements, while electrochromic environment has light penetration coefficient, which alters if electric potential is applied to electrochromic environment; means for letting electric current through first conductive covering for heating first conductive covering to prevent veiling of window assembly; and means for letting electric current through second and third coverings to create an electric potential on electrochromic environment and to change light penetration coefficient for electrochromic environment.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
