Abstract
This article presents a new approach to controlling large-sized electrochromic devices based on the charge-discharge method. The developed method eliminates the problem of the edge effect and significantly equalizes the electro-optical characteristics of these products: 47 times compared to the galvanostatic control mode and 13.7 times compared to the pulse method. This, in turn, helps to increase the service life of large-sized electrochromic devices.
