All‐plastic and flexible electrochromic devices will facilitate 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‐state electrochromic device using two optically complementary conductive polymer blends deposited on ITO‐PET (indium tin oxide–poly(ethyleneterephthalate)), and a polymeric electrolyte. The device was constructed under atmospheric conditions and showed good optical characteristics.
