Description

一种可控电致变色器件及其光学性能调控方法和应用A controllable electrochromic device and its optical performance control method and application 技术领域Technical Field
本发明属于光电技术领域,特别涉及一种可控电致变色器件及其光学性能调控方法和应用。The present invention belongs to the field of optoelectronic technology, and in particular relates to a controllable electrochromic device and an optical performance regulation method and application thereof.
背景技术Background technique
电致变色技术由于具有能耗低、动态可调控的光学特性等优点,因此应用广泛。例如应用在自适应红外防护、光学伪装、智能窗、防眩目后视镜等领域。随着现代科学技术的发展,对电致变色器件的高精度光学调控技术提出了迫切需求。因此,开发先进的光学动态调控技术及其高精度可控调节方法,已成为研究的热点。然而,电致变色器件光学性能的高精度调控缺乏有效且便捷的方法。一方面,电致变色器件在动态的光学性能调制过程中涉及到不同的电化学氧化还原反应;另一方面,常规的光学性能调控方法往往基于电压调控,存在电压迟滞效应,导致调控精度和效率下降。另外,现有技术中需要对电致变色器件光学性能进行实时持续监测,基于外界的光学性能需求,动态地获得所需要的光学特性。然而,该过程不仅造成持续的能耗,同时需要额外且复杂的装置(例如光感元件)对光学性能进行监测,难以满足不同场景对光学调控技术高效、低成本、低能耗的特征要求。Electrochromic technology has the advantages of low energy consumption and dynamically adjustable optical properties, so it is widely used. For example, it is used in the fields of adaptive infrared protection, optical camouflage, smart windows, anti-glare rearview mirrors, etc. With the development of modern science and technology, there is an urgent need for high-precision optical control technology of electrochromic devices. Therefore, the development of advanced optical dynamic control technology and its high-precision controllable adjustment method has become a hot topic of research. However, there is a lack of effective and convenient methods for high-precision control of the optical properties of electrochromic devices. On the one hand, electrochromic devices involve different electrochemical redox reactions in the dynamic optical performance modulation process; on the other hand, conventional optical performance control methods are often based on voltage control, and there is a voltage hysteresis effect, which leads to a decrease in control accuracy and efficiency. In addition, the existing technology needs to monitor the optical properties of electrochromic devices in real time and continuously, and dynamically obtain the required optical properties based on the external optical performance requirements. However, this process not only causes continuous energy consumption, but also requires additional and complex devices (such as light sensing elements) to monitor the optical performance, which is difficult to meet the requirements of different scenarios for high efficiency, low cost and low energy consumption of optical control technology.
目前已有的电致变色器件光学性能调控技术主要是采用光感元件对电致变色器件的光学性能进行实时持续的监测,进而反馈相关信号调节电压或电流,从而控制电致变色器件,获得所需的光学性能(例如申请号为202010383716.X的专利公开的一种电致变色玻璃的控制方法及电致变色玻璃、申请号为201710233384.5的专利公开的电致变色***、控制方法及电致变色后视镜)。由于通过调节工作电压控制电致变色器件光学性能存在电压迟滞效应,很难对电致变色器件的光学性能进行精准调控。另外,对电致变色器件光学性能实施持续监测,需要引入额外的光感元件与分析装置,增加了光学调控***的复杂度,同时增加了成本与能耗。The existing electrochromic device optical performance control technology mainly uses photosensitive elements to monitor the optical performance of electrochromic devices in real time and continuously, and then feeds back relevant signals to adjust the voltage or current, thereby controlling the electrochromic device to obtain the required optical performance (for example, a control method for electrochromic glass and electrochromic glass disclosed in the patent with application number 202010383716.X, and an electrochromic system, control method and electrochromic rearview mirror disclosed in the patent with application number 201710233384.5). Due to the voltage hysteresis effect when controlling the optical performance of electrochromic devices by adjusting the working voltage, it is difficult to accurately control the optical performance of electrochromic devices. In addition, continuous monitoring of the optical performance of electrochromic devices requires the introduction of additional photosensitive elements and analysis devices, which increases the complexity of the optical control system and increases the cost and energy consumption.
因此,亟需提供一种可控电致变色器件及其光学性能调控方法,该可控电致变色器件不需要引入额外光感元件与装置对电致变色器件进行实时持续监测,不仅降低调控***的复杂度,同时能够实现对电致变色器件光学性能进行精准调控,减少能耗,降低成本的目的。Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a controllable electrochromic device and a method for regulating its optical properties. The controllable electrochromic device does not require the introduction of additional photosensitive elements and devices to perform real-time and continuous monitoring of the electrochromic device, which not only reduces the complexity of the regulation system, but also can achieve precise regulation of the optical properties of the electrochromic device, reduce energy consumption, and reduce costs.
