Diarylethenes with heterocyclic aryl groups are newcomers to the photochromic field. They belong to thermally irreversible (P-type) photochromic compounds. The most striking feature of the compounds is their resistance to fatigue. The coloration/decoloration cycle could be repeated more than 104 times in keeping with the photochromic performance. Both properties, thermal irreversibility and fatigue resistance, are indispensable for applications to optoelectronic devices, such as memories and switches. In this review fundamental properties of the compounds and their applications to optical memories and switches are described.
