Electrochromic (EC) devices, capable of modulating their optical transmittance by charge insertion/ extraction, were produced by laminating films comprised of nanoporous W oxide and Ni-V oxide by a polymer electrolyte and having this three-layer stack between transparent conducting In 2 O 3 :Sn films backed by polyester foils. 1/f noise in the current (I) was observed when the charged (colored) EC device was discharged via a resistor. The power spectral density S i at fixed frequency scaled as S i ∼I 2 . Extended color/bleach cycling degraded the optical quality and homogeneity of the device and concomitantly increased the 1/f noise intensity. These initial data indicate that 1/f noise has a potential to serve as a quality measure for EC devices.
