Abstract
Theoretical considerations suggest that the absorption and emission spectra of certain dyes may be shifted by hundreds of angstroms upon application of a strong electric field. The effect could be called ``electrochromism,'' in analogy to ``thermochromism'' and ``photochromism.'' The theory of the effect is outlined and is discussed in terms of compounds which might be expected to show it most strongly.Keywords
