Preface
In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence, more and more industries strive to be “smart.” As a new generation of display technology, organic electrochromic (OEC) devices offer numerous advantages such as flexibility, full colors, wide origins of materials, fast switching time, low driving voltage, and simple configuration. In addition, these devices possess “smart” characteristics of multi‐stimulation and multi‐response. Therefore, the OEC industry is emerging as a potential display competitor in the field of electronic information.
This book covers major topics related to the phenomenon of electrochromism, including the history of organic electrochromism, fundamental principles, different types of electrochromic materials, development of device structures, multifunctional devices, their characterizations and applications, and future prospects of OEC technology. It also spotlights recent research progress reported by academic institutes and enterprises, and discusses the existing challenges in further development of this area.
This book provides a comprehensive review of OEC materials and devices, and can be used as a teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students as well as teachers in the fields of organic chemistry and polymer science etc. Also, this book can be adopted as a comprehensive reference for researchers engaged in the development of OEC technology enterprise in the field of electrochromism.

About the Author
Prof. Dr. Hong Meng obtained his BS in Chemistry at Sichuan University in 1988 and MS degree in Organic Chemistry from Peking University in 1995. He then studied Polymer Science and Engineering and acquired his second MS degree from the National University of Singapore in 1997. After working at the Institute of Materials Science and Engineering (IMRE) in Singapore for two years, he went to the United States in 1999 and completed his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Fred Wudl at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in 2002. Prof. Dr. Meng worked as a research consultant at Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies, with Dr. Zhenan Bao for one year. He then joined DuPont Experimental Station, Central Research and Development, as a senior research chemist in 2002. In 2012, he moved back to China and worked as the CEO of a laser printing industry at Leputai Technology Company. In 2014, he joined the School of Advanced Materials at Peking University, Shenzhen as a chair professor. He has been engaged in the research and development of solid‐state organic synthesis, organic semiconductor device engineering, organic electronics, and other relevant fields, especially organic light‐emitting diodes, organic electrochromics, organic thin-film transistors, organic conductive polymers, and nanotechnology. He has published more than 200 articles in internationally renowned journals, participated in the writing of three book chapters and co‐edited two books in the field of organic optoelectronic technology. He has obtained more than 150 patents for inventions in the United States and China, among which, several patented products have been commercialized.
