VIEWING APPARATUS COMPRISING A SWITCHABLE PANE
A viewing apparatus comprises a switchable pane electrically alterable between an unclear optical state and a clear optical state, and a power supply circuit connected to the switchable pane and arranged to draw power from a battery to alter the optical state of the switchable pane. The power supply circuit may comprise a switched-mode power supply arranged to supply an AC voltage to the switchable pane. The viewing apparatus may comprise a primary unit, in which at least one of the power supply circuit and the switchable pane is housed, and a portable module accommodating the battery from which the power supply circuit is arranged to draw power. The apparatus may be arranged for releasable electrical connection between the primary unit and the portable module so that the optical state of the switchable pane is user alterable by placing the portable module into electrical connection with the primary unit and by withdrawing the portable module from electrical connection with the primary unit.
