- This embodiment provides a control storage medium for an electrochromic device, which is set to execute: determine whether the current transmittance of the electrochromic device reaches a preset transmittance; if the current transmittance of the electrochromic device If the overrate does not reach the preset transmittance, control the external power supply to charge and discharge the electrochromic device in the first mode until the current transmittance of the electrochromic device reaches the preset transmittance; if If the current transmittance of the electrochromic device reaches the preset transmittance, the charge and discharge are suspended, and the current open circuit potential of the electrochromic device is continuously monitored whether the current open circuit potential of the electrochromic device is within the preset open circuit potential threshold range; If the current open-circuit potential of the electrochromic device is not within the preset open-circuit potential threshold range, the external power supply is controlled to charge and discharge the electrochromic device in the second mode, so that the current open-circuit potential of the electrochromic device is continuously at the same level.
- the preset open circuit potential threshold range The control storage medium of the electrochromic device provided by the embodiment of the present application solves the related problems by judging whether the open circuit potential of the electrochromic device meets the preset requirement, and charging the electrochromic device through a variety of charging methods and judgment conditions.
- the technology can not precisely control the electrochromic device and the problem of instability, so as to realize the uniform discoloration of the electrochromic device and the improvement of the lifespan of the electrochromic device.
