Benzyl viologen was synthesized and the electrochromic properties was examined. At an applied voltage of 2.6 V the electrocoloration was appeared but electrooptical response abruptly decreased after a certain period of time. It was a cause that the quality of the ITO film was degraded, e.g. the conductivity of the ITO film reduced from the original value. The ITO surfaces under some different conditions were observed by XRD and SEM.
