Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 80 words
A reversible electrochromic display device comprising a reactive medium between two electrically conductive electrodes, at least one of which is transparent, said medium comprising an anhydrous solvent and an oxidant/reductant pair in which the reductant is an electron acceptor and the oxidant is a thienylidene pyrazoline compound having the formula wherein R equals a phenyl or thienyl ring which may be substituted with an electron releasing group and each of R 1 and R 2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 80 words
A reversible electrochromic display device comprising a reactive medium between two electrically conductive electrodes, at least one of which is transparent, said medium comprising an anhydrous solvent and an oxidant/reductant pair in which the reductant is an electron acceptor and the oxidant is a thienylidene pyrazoline compound having the formula wherein R equals a phenyl or thienyl ring which may be substituted with an electron releasing group and each of R 1 and R 2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the oxidant is 1-p-anisyl-3-[2-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)-vinyl]-5-p-diethylamino phenyl Δ-2-pyrazoline.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the oxidant is 1-p-anisyl-3-[2-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-vinyl]-5-p-diethylamino phenyl Δ-2-pyrazoline.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 13 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the oxidant is 1-p-anisyl-3-[2-(3-methyl-2-2-thienyl)-vinyl]-5-[3-methyl-2-thienyl] Δ-2-pyrazoline.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 13 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the oxidant is 1-p-anisyl-3-[2-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)-vinyl]-5-phenyl Δ-2-pyrazoline.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 13 words
A device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the oxidant is 1-p-anisyl-3-[2-(2-thienyl)-vinyl]-5-[2-thienyl] Δ-2-pyrazoline.
