Further, electrochromic devices made of electrochromic materials have been widely used in smart windows, smart indicators, imaging devices, and the like. The principle of electrochromism is that under the action of an external electric field or current, the electronic structure and optical properties (reflectivity, transmittance, absorptivity and the like) of an inorganic or organic electrochromism material are stably and reversibly changed, and the electrochromism material shows reversible changes of color and transparency on the appearance. Conventional electrochromism can be divided into two models, a transmissive electrochromic device and a reflective electrochromic device, and the color of the electrochromic device is determined only by the electronic structure and optical properties of the electrochromism itself. Therefore, the single mode and monotonic color modulation of the electrochromic also become a bottleneck limiting the application range thereof.
