An all-plastic and flexible electrochromic device based on elastomeric blends

Communication: All-plastic and flexible electrochromic devices will facilit ate new technological applications, such as information display and storage , in the automotive industry (rear-view mirrors) and in architecture (smart windows). Here the authors describe an all-plastic and flexible solid-stat e electrochromic device using two optically complementary conductive polyme r blends deposited on ITO-PET (indium tin oxide-poly(ethyleneterephthalate) ), and a polymeric electrolyte. The device was constructed under atmospheri c conditions and showed good optical characteristics.
