Variable Light Transmission Electrochromic Technology
The Triton electrochromic technology provides the capability to vary optical light transmission through a wide contrast range at the user's discretion. This technology is useful for applications where there is a need to vary the degre of light transimission, such as going rapidly from shadow to sunlight.
Triton Systems has developed unique, patented electrochromic technology based on conductive polymers that change from a clear to a colored state when a small DC voltage is applied. This technology can be applied to thin flexible plastics, or to rigid or complex shaped glass or plastics.
Compared with other electrochromic technologies, the Triton architecture provides important benefits that include:
- > 50% photopic transmission contrast range
- > User controlled transmission levels (not just clear or dark)
- > 100,000 cycle life
- Temperature use from –30°F to +140°F
- 1 – 2 second switching time
- High quality optical clarity
- Flexible devices that can be used as inserts
- No power cons umption unless contrast change is being made
- No liquid materials
- Use of an analog or digital voltage regulator for precise optical tuning of the device
Applications Include:
- Windows
- Sunroofs
- Sporting and military goggles
- Motorcycle visors
- Aircraft canopies
- Pilot visors
- Aircraft windows
- Sunglasses
- See-through displays
