The present invention provides an electrochromic polyamic acid material, a preparation method thereof and a display device, wherein the molecular structure of the electrochromic polyamic acid material includes oligoaniline and carbazolyl triphenylamine. The oligoaniline serves as an electrochemically sensitive group, and the carbazolyl triphenylamine serves as a fluorescence emitting group. The electrochromic polyamic acid material is an electrically controlled fluorescent polymer. Fluorescence intensity of the electrochromic polyamic acid material undergoes reversible fluorescence conversion with a change of an applied voltage, due to a redox reaction of the oligoaniline at different voltages, resulting in an interchange between a benzene ring and an anthracene ring in a molecular structure, and an electron/energy transfer path with the fluorescence emitting group are generated or eliminated, thereby realizing the electrically controlled fluorescent properties of the electrochromic polyamic acid material.
