'Electric-paint displays' are electrochromic displays with dyed nanostructured metal-oxide electrodes, e.g. viologen-derivatized nanostructured titanium dioxide electrodes. Such displays are particularly promising for applications with low switch frequency, large segment areas, and high demands on colours, background brightness, and large viewing-angles. The concept is simple and well suited for inexpensive industrial production methods. We present blue-on-white electric-paint displays with porous carbon counter electrodes. The initial results with laboratory prototypes are promising. The switch time is about 1/2 s and the reflectance in the bleached state is as high as 40-55% in the visible region. Furthermore, the display prototypes sustain more than 100 000 switching cycles without severe degradation. The results from spectroelectrochemical measurements on the assembled displays are presented.
