The invention relates to methods and apparatus useful for making color filters for liquid crystal display panels. A multicolored ink pattern is deposited to a substrate while in a deformable state, flattened during the deposition process, and the deformed, more uniform shape of the printed dot is thereafter retained, preferably by curing during deposition. The transfer layer is preferably formed on a collector roll. A plurality of colored ink patterns is then transferred to the collector roll, preferably from a single pattern roll having multiple patterns thereon, to form the multicolor image that will become the color filter. This multicolored image is then transferred to the substrate.

This invention relates to an electrochromic device comprising a layer (2') of an electrochromic product held between two conducting layers (5',6') each formed on one face of a transparent plate (3',4'), electrodes formed on each of the conducting layers, and a source of direct current for selectively supplying these electrodes with electrical energy. Electrodes (8', 9', 10, 11) are of elongated shape and extend over facing surfaces of the two conducting layers (5',6'), essentially symmetrical with respect to the plane of the electrochromic layer (2'). The invention has application to windows in the building industry or the automobile industry (windshields, windows, rear view mirrors, etc.)
