A method for preparing an electrochromic display device comprising first and second electrochromic layers and a solid electrolyte interposed therebetween, comprises the steps of forming a conductive film on a substrate, forming an insulating film, over the entire surface of the conductive film forming a resist at portions on the insulating film other than a display pattern and lead-in electrodes, removing the insulating film at the display pattern and the lead-in electrodes, forming the electrochromic material layers and the solid electrolyte over the entire portions other than the lead-in electrode, removing the resist and the electrochromic layers and the solid electrolyte as formed on the insulating film, and forming a second electrode on the second electrochromic layer.
