摘要: The present invention pertains to an optical shutter (103), comprising photon-absorbing layer (105), and a surface in transparent state on at least one side of the wherein is characterized by absorption photons change opaque (15), reflective state. reversibly imageable between these states. may comprise metallized layer. Preferably, comprises organic free radical compound, such as salt aminium cation, Also provided are switch devices buffers (120) (130), shutters methods switching signal utilizing devices.
