Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 79 words
In 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 wherein the reductant is an electron acceptor, the improvement according to which the oxidant is a triaryl pyrazoline compound having the formula: ##STR2## wherein A, A 1 and A 2 are each phenyl or phenyl substituted with an electron releasing group, and n is zero or one.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 79 words
In 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 wherein the reductant is an electron acceptor, the improvement according to which the oxidant is a triaryl pyrazoline compound having the formula: ##STR2## wherein A, A 1 and A 2 are each phenyl or phenyl substituted with an electron releasing group, and n is zero or one.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
