Abstract

We present a new approach for design of organic electrochromic devices (ECD) with inter-digitated electrode (IDE) structure and three-electrode dynamic operation. The advantages of the IDE design include the ability to produce fast and homogenous color change over large areas. In addition, it enables fabrication of multi-color devices. Our method involves photolithographic etching of ITO followed by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and mechanical compression of porous titania to produce finely patterned electrodes with high surface area. The titania layer is chemically modified by new stable and reversible electrochromic viologen derivatives involving phenylphosphonic acid anchoring moiety. The new device demonstrates reversible and strong color change from colorless to deep blue and yellow.
