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.
