Abstract

A device for the control of light transmission or reflection comprises one or more working electrodes, preferably arranged to form a display and having radiation transmission or reflection properties, an active material comprising an N(p-cyanophenyl) substituted derivative of a compound, usually bicyclic, having two conjugated nitrogen-containing rings in contact with the working electrode surface, a counter electrode, also in contact with the active material and ferrous ammonium sulphate as an auxiliary redox system.
