Abstract

PURPOSE:To form an electrochromic layer between electrodes and high-polymer electrolyte layers and to obtain the EC display device having excellent display performance by crimping the high-polymer electrolyte layer impregnated with an electrlytically polymerizable monomer and the high-polymer electrolye layer which is not impregnanted with the electrolytically polymerizable monomer between two pieces of th electrodes and impressing a polymn. voltage between the electrodes. CONSTITUTION:The high-polymer electrolyte layer (a) which is impregnated with the electrolytically polymerizable monomer and the high-polymer electrolyte layer (b) which is not impregnated with the electrolytically polymerizable monomer are crimped between two pieces of the electrodes. The polymn. voltage is then impressed between the electrodes to electrolytically polymerize the above-mentione electrolytically polymerizable monomer and to form the EL layer between the electrodes and he high-polymer electrolyte layer (a). The electrolytically polymerizable monomer is exemplified by thiophene, aniline, o-dialkoxy benzene, etc. The high-polymer electrolyte is obtd. by dissolving an inorg. electrolyte, such as lithium perchlorate or tetraethyl ammonium borofluoride, and an org. high polymer, such as polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinyl butyral, in a solvent which can dissolve both, then removing the solvent.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is an electrochromic (hereinafter referred to as EC)

(Conventional technique v#) Conventional EC display devices are classified into solid type and solution type depending on the shape of the electrolyte layer, but the latter has drawbacks such as liquid leakage, so it was developed by FiIllf from the point of view of ease of handling. is desired. When producing such an EC* display device,
Generally, the EC layer and electrolyte layer are formed separately. That is, it is produced by laminating ECMIf on an electrode, then further laminating an electrolyte layer, and sandwiching the layer with a counter electrode. Therefore, the presence of a clear interface between the EC layer and the electrolyte layer prevents charge transfer.

Further, at the stage of laminating the EC layer, oxygen and moisture are adsorbed to the EC layer, which may adversely affect the EC reaction.

In an attempt to improve these shortcomings, a method was proposed in JP-A-63-2005 in which monomers were dissolved in a polymer electrolyte in advance, and then an EC layer was formed by sandwiching the two sides between electrodes and applying a voltage.
It is shown in the publication No. 291037. According to this method, since the interface between the electrolyte layer and the EC layer is homogeneous, no interference with charge transfer or adsorption of other substances occurs. However, in this method, because the 7-mer is dissolved throughout the polymer electrolyte, electrolytic polymerization products are generated not only on the working electrode but also on the counter electrode.
Display performance is poor.
