Electrochromic devices (ECDs) are innovative components that can change their optical transmittance or reflectance when an electric potential is applied. They're especially useful in smart windows for automobiles and buildings, where they shift between dark (colored) and clear (bleached) states. This switching ability enhances energy efficiency and provides visual comfort. ECDs are also becoming increasingly important in the virtual and augmented reality sectors of the future meta-world. They offer low power consumption and can operate in both transmissive and reflective modes, making them a unique alternative to emissive displays for various applications.

To maximize the potential of ECDs, advancements in material design, processing methods, device architecture, and a deeper understanding of how ions and electrons move within these devices are crucial. Identifying and addressing failure modes is also vital. This symposium aims to gather leading researchers and industry experts to discuss recent technical progress, tackle challenges in mass production, and explore commercial opportunities.

The symposium invites abstract submissions on all facets of electrochromic technology, including material design, patterning, coating, device fabrication, and large-scale manufacturing processes. It will also focus on discussions related to business development in this field.
