A new low‐bandgap conjugated polymer is synthesized (see Figure for structure). It is transparent, easily processed, and exhibits electrochromic behavior specific to the near‐infrared region of the spectrum. The absence of electrochromic behavior in the visible range may permit this polymer to be used in near‐infrared device applications.
