An electrochromic system. It comprises layers of solid/materials deposited on glass or another substrate. The solids function in an atmosphere that can be dry. One layer is preferably Li.sub.3 AlF.sub.6 and conducts positive lithium ions. Another layer is a counterelectrode. The counterelectrode is improved to the extent that it can reversibly accept ions from and donate them to the ion conductor while remaining extensively transparent. The counterelectrode can be Li.sub.x TiO.sub.y, (Li.sub.2 O).sub.m (WO.sub.3).sub.n (Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3), or (Li.sub.2 O).sub.m (WO.sub.3).sub.n (CeO.sub.2).sub.o.

Electrochromic system

A bolometric radiation detector wherein the electrically-conductive measuring layer is applied to a carrier film which is supported by a frame. To produce a bolometer of this type the carrier film is produced as a layer on a base material, preferably by anodic or thermal oxidation of the base material. The measuring layer is applied to the carrier film. After providing the base material and the measuring layer with a photoresist layer, the conductors are etched out and a window is made from the reverse side. The carrier film with the measuring layer structure then remains. The parts of the base material that have not been removed serve as a frame for the carrier film.
