Description

Electrochromic flexible display device with parallel structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an electrochromic flexible display device with a parallel structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, most display devices such as displays, electronic paper, electronic advertising screens and the like in the market adopt liquid crystal or electrophoresis technology. The liquid crystal has large energy consumption, is not transparent and can not realize flexible display; electrophoresis can only display transparent and opaque or fixed colors in general, and the application field is single. The flexible display device based on the conductive polymer electrochromic material has huge market application value in the aspects of electronic paper, displays and the like due to the characteristics of flexibility, convenience in carrying, no view angle limit, energy conservation, power conservation and the like.
A typical electrochromic device is a sandwich structure, consisting of five layers: the transparent conductive electrode, the electrochromic layer, the ion conductive layer, the ion storage layer and the other transparent conductive electrode are sequentially arranged, wherein the common transparent conductive electrode is ITO or FTO glass. Conventional rigid structure electrochromic devices have met with significant success, with high cycling stability paving the way to commercialization, but the demand for flexible display devices is difficult to meet because the rigid substrates are brittle and do not bend easily. To solve this problem, recent work has reported replacing rigid substrates with flexible transparent substrates, the most popular of which is ethylene terephthalate (PET). PET is highly transparent and flexible, and a conductive layer (such as PEDOT: PSS or silver nanowire) is introduced on the surface of the PET, so that the conductive capability of the PET can be greatly improved, and the electrode still keeps good conductivity after being folded for many times.
On the basis, the invention provides a novel electrochromic device structure with a parallel structure, namely a flexible patterned electrode with high transmittance and high conductivity is prepared; further, the same or different polymer-based Electrochromic (EC) materials are prepared on the patterned electrode by a full solution process; finally, the flexible multicolor display device with the all-solid-state side-by-side structure is assembled. This device compares in traditional sandwich structure device: the original two electrodes are changed into the existing single-layer electrode, and the electrolyte layer and the electrochromic layer are arranged side by side, so that an ultrathin, flexible and foldable novel electrochromic device is expected to be obtained; and the colors of the color changing layers are not mutually interfered, so that the effect of multicolor display can be achieved. Therefore, the electrochromic flexible display device with the parallel structure, which is prepared by the invention, has great application potential in the application fields of flexibility and wearability.
