Abstract

In an electrochromic display comprising a back plate electrode, a plurality of display electrodes, and a reference electrode available for maintaining the potential of the respective display electrodes at a fixed value, there is provided a detector for sensing the counter electromotive force which is developed between the display electrodes and the reference electrode in a manner such that there is created a remarkable difference in the output voltage signal thereof between in the colored state and in the bleached state. Therefore, the output signal from the detector indicates whether the electrochromic display is held in the colored state or the bleached state.
