Investigation of Lutetium Diphthalocyanine as an Electrochromic Display Material.

Abstract

A new type of electrochromic display uses a rare-earth diphthalocyanine as the active material. Characteristics include switching energy of 1 mJ/cm2, response time of 50 msec, nonvolatile memory, and good visibility in different directions under various lighting conditions. A full spectral range of colors is generated in lutetium diphthalocyanine by variation of the applied voltage. With further research and development, this system should be useful for full color imaging and graphic displays, as well as alphanumerics. (Author)
