Experiments were performed to validate the IR scene generation concept using a thin film galvanic cell based on a phenomenon in which silver ions are electrically injected into a thin film to modulate the transmission of IR radiation through the film. By fabricating a two- dimensional array of the thin film galvanic cells and electrically addressing them, an IR scene may be simulated.
