ABSTRACT:
A switching device in which an organic bistable material layer containing an organic bistable compound having two types of stable resistance against an applied voltage is provided between at least two electrodes. In the switching device, a first electrode layer, an electric charge injection suppressing layer, an organic bistable material layer and a second electrode layer are sequentially formed on a substrate as respective thin films, in which the electric charge injection suppressing layer contains an electrically conductive layer which allows an electric charge injection amount from the first electrode layer to the organic bistable material layer to be small compared with that in a case in which the electric charge is directly injected from the first electrode layer to the organic bistable material layer without providing the electric charge injection suppressing layer.
