1. An electrochromic device with side-by-side structure, comprising:
a common electrode unit, comprising an electrode layer and an electrode protection layer disposed on the electrode layer;
at least one color-changing unit, comprising a transparent conductive layer and a color-changing layer disposed on the transparent conductive layer; wherein the common electrode unit and each color-changing unit are arranged on the same plane with an insulating region between two adjacent units; and
an electrolyte layer, covering the electrode protection layer of the common electrode unit and the color-changing layer of each color-changing unit, and connecting the electrode protection layer of the common electrode unit and the color-changing layer of each color-changing unit;
wherein the electrode protection layer is made of a material capable of blocking discoloration ions from bombarding the electrode layer.
