Characterization and applications of New Electrochromic and Suspended Particle Devices

Abstract

GDAF (Displays and Photonics Applications Group) in Electronics Technology Department at University Carlos III de Madrid research on electrochromic and suspended particle devices. It offers the characterization, the search for applications and design and implementation of optimized electronic control systems. These devices are used in smart windows and mirrors, optical communications, ophthalmic filters, etc. The advantages are mainly the power consumption and easiness of switching. Sepecific advantages arise in each application. Companies or institutions are searched that develop these devices, in order to establish collaboration about characterizations and control systems optimization.
