Abstract
This invention provides application of noble metal nanoparticles for devices with controlled light transmission, absorption and detection. Particularly described is the use of noble metal nanoparticles in photoconductive detectors, optical filters, optical switches, pixel arrays, and electrochromic windows for controlling the transmission and absorption of incident and transmitted light. In addition, the use of noble metal nanoparticles in an electrochromic display is described in which color of the transmitted light from a nanoparticle-based pixel is adjusted and controlled.
