Abstract
Light-adaptable (LA) displays combining the advantages of reflective and emissive displays, are considered as the future of display technology. Electrochromic devices are potentially strong candidates for reflective-mode LA displays because of their high transmittance in the transparent state and low power consumption. However, the narrow viewing angle of these displays in relation to a hybrid structure of the LA display, is a technical barrier that must be overcome for the successful application of electrochromic devices to light-adaptable displays. In the present study, an electrochromic device with a self-diffusing function was developed for application to light-adaptable displays. Si3N4 scattering particles were incorporated in the TiO2 nanostructure-based electrochromic device. Efficient forward diffuse scatterings were obtained without deteriorating the total transmittance of the device. The contrast ratio and color gamut of the electrochromic device were dramatically improved because of the addition of the scattering particles.
