A novel electrochromic device with three optical states ‐ transparent, specular mirror, and black ‐ is demonstrated by N. Kobayashi and co‐workers on page OP 122 . The cell is constructed by sandwiching gel electrolyte‐containing silver nitrate between one flat and one particle‐modified in‐dium thin oxide electrode. The optical states can be switched by altering the potential across the two electrodes.
