In　this　paper,　we　demonstrated　a　simple　solution　fabrication　route　to　realize　flexible　single　layer　light-emitting　electrochemical　cells　(LEC)　by　employing　cationic　iridium　complexes.　The　flexible　LEC　show　the　efficiency　as　high　as　10.71　cd/A　at　5　V　and　9.8　cd/A　at　7　V　for　blue-green　and　white　electroluminescence,　respectively.　Bending　test　was　also　performed　for　the　as-fabricated　flexible　LEC,　and　they　exhibited　an　excellent　light-emitting　stability　during　the　multiple　mechanical　bending　at　a　10　mm　curvature　radius.　©　2015　Elsevier　B.V.
