Recent progress in all-visible-light-triggered diarylethenes

Photochromic materials have recently attracted much attention in optoelectronic devices and optical storage systems because of their excellent reversible photoresponse performance. Among them, diarylethene has been widely studied for its excellent thermal stability, rapid photoresponsibility, robust fatigue resistance, and good performances in solution and solid states. However, one serious limitation to the application of such molecules is that...
