Abstract
A two-colour electrochromic display (ECD) is studied by using a propylene carbonate/methanol solution incorporated with two viologens, 1,1′-Dibenzyl-4,4′-bipyridinium difluoroborate (DBV) and 1,1′-tetramethylene-bis-(1-benzyl-4,4′-bipyridinium)bromide (TBV), with Bu4NBF4 as supporting electrolyte. This ECD changed in colour from blue at an applied voltage of 0.5-2.0 V to reddish-purple at 2.5 V, and the colour can be controlled by the applied voltage.
