Abstract
and PB thin films on indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. Chromaticity and haze of ECDs were investigated in detail as evaluation indexes to verify specifications for practical use in automotive applications. Repeated switching, bending, and twisting did not degrade the ECD properties, thereby demonstrating its durability and mechanical robustness. These excellent electrochromic properties of the flexible ECDs suggest that they are promising materials for application in next-generation smart windows for automobiles.
