Abstract

The current invention describes an electrochromic panel having optimized visual properties. The properties have been optimized to provide an electrochromic panel having a very transparent clear state and a very black and opaque dark state. The coloration of the electrochromic panel has also been optimized to provide options for aesthetically pleasing windows. In one embodiment, the clear state comprises a CIE-Lab L* in transmission from 70 to 95, b* in transmission from −8 to 8, and a* in transmission from −4 to 4 and a dark state comprises a Tvis less than 0.01%, a CIE-Lab b* in transmission from −8 to 8, and a CIE-Lab a* in transmission from −8 to 8.
