title: Color-tuning neutrality for flexible electrochromics via a single-layer dual conjugated polymer approach.
abstract: A method to color-tune electrochromic devices through the use of theoretical calculations is demonstrated to achieve neutrality using only three monomers that form two distinct copolymers. These devices exhibit photopic contrasts up to ca. 38%, high neutrality, color uniformity, and switch speeds of less than 1 s. In addition, this method is used to fabricate a large-area flexible electrochromic device of 75 cm(2) , exceeding the size of small displays.
