Zusammenfassung:An active electrochromic film (500) can include a transparent flexible substrate (510), a first transparent electrically conductive layer (520) in contact with the transparent flexible substrate (510), an active electrochromic gel layer (530) in contact with the transparent electrically conductive layer (520), and a second transparent electrically conductive layer (515) in contact with the active electrochromic gel layer (530) opposite from the first transparent electrically conductive layer (520). The active electrochromic gel layer (530) can include a viologen-based compound. The active electrochromic gel layer (530) can exhibit a high visible optical transparency in the absence of a voltage applied across the first and second transparent electrically conductive layers (520,515) and a low visible optical transparency under an applied voltage. In one example, at least one of the first and second transparent electrically conductive layers (520,515) can include a masked portion (580) such that the active electrochromic gel layer (530) is insulated from the applied voltage in an area adjacent to the masked portion (580).
