Photochromic molecules provide an intriguing and relatively untapped alternative to traditional materials utilized in organic memory devices. On page 469 , Klaus Meerholz and co‐workers review the use of photochromic materials, with an emphasis on dithienylethenes, in electrically‐addressed organic electronic devices. Recent results for a multifunctional, light‐emitting organic memory device incorporating a photochromic transduction layer are discussed in terms of applications in signage and multilevel memory arrays.
