Prototyping Transparent and Flexible Electrochromic Displays

Semicrystalline Polythiophene-Based Nanoparticles Deposited from Water on Flexible PET/ITO Substrates as a Sustainable Approach toward Long-Lasting Solid-State Electrochromic Devices

“…PEDOT formulations with PSS as water suspensions developed by Bayer in the later 1990s enabled their application in commercial products in the field of printed electrochromics . We think our approach will trigger new progress in the industry by allowing a strong dissemination among designers and artists − with the appearance of new colors otherwise difficult to reach with metal oxides. Metal oxides are still the best option for smart windows and outdoors, but polymers allow a wider range of deposition techniques and color palette.…”

Prototyping and Design of Transparent and Flexible Electrochromic Displays

“…Furthermore, basic knowledge of graphical design and image editing as well as basic electronics will be an advantage. This course is an improved variant of the course given at CHI 2019 [17] (it was also accepted at CHI 2020 and MUM 2021 which however, were both unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19 [15,16]) with slightly different instructors. But all instructors have extensive experience from running similar courses for audiences ranging from artists to computer scientists [9] that we arrange as part of the EU funded DecoChrom project.…”

ECPlotter: A Toolkit for Rapid Prototyping of Electrochromic Displays

“…More recently, researchers also investigated how to create electrochromic displays in smaller volumes using a semi manual manufacturing process that uses an industrial screen-printing press to apply each layer of the display stack one after another (Andersson et al [1]). TransPrint [16,31,32] extends this line of work by presenting a fabrication process for screen-printing electrochromic displays, which uses an off-the-shelf hardware setup that can be used in makerspace activities [18] by non-experts to produce their own display designs. Based on this technique also a variety of prototypical applications have been developed in the past, ranging from simple user interfaces [4], notifications [36], hybrid board games [21], over ambient lighting [19,20], wearables [5,15,17], as part of a learning activity [30] or in a soft robot [34].…”
