Zusammenfassung:A multi-color variable transmission optical device ("MC-VTOD") includes a first cell having a first electro-optic material provided between a first pair of substrates and a second cell having a second electro-optic material provided between a second pair of substrates.The first electro-optic material can changing from a state of higher light transmittance to a state of lower light transmittance in a first wavelength region upon a change in an electric field applied across the first electro-optical material. The second electro-optic material is capable of changing from a state of higher light transmittance to a state of lower light transmittance in a second wavelength region different from the first wavelength region upon a change in an electric field applied across the second electro-optical material. The MC-VTOD is switchable between i) a clear state wherein the first cell and second cell are in the state of higher light transmission, ii) a first tinted state wherein the first cell is in a state of lower light transmittance and the second cell is in a state of higher light transmittance, and iii) a colorimetrically neutral darkened state wherein at least the second cell is in a state of lower light transmittance. At least the first cell is characterized by a narrow band absorption of 175 nm or less in its state of lower light transmittance.
