Plasmonic metasurfaces are a promising route for flat panel display applications due to their full color gamut and high spatial resolution. However, this plasmonic coloration cannot be readily tuned and requires expensive lithographic techniques. Here, we present scalable electrically driven color-changing metasurfaces constructed using a bottom-up solution process that controls the crucial plasmonic gaps and fills them with an active medium. Electrochromic nanoparticles are coated onto a metallic mirror, providing the smallest-area active plasmonic pixels to date. These nanopixels show strong scattering colors and are electrically tunable across >100-nm wavelength ranges. Their bistable behavior (with persistence times exceeding hundreds of seconds) and ultralow energy consumption (9 fJ per pixel) offer vivid, uniform, nonfading color that can be tuned at high refresh rates (>50 Hz) and optical contrast (>50%). These dynamics scale from the single nanoparticle level to multicentimeter scale films in subwavelength thickness devices, which are a hundredfold thinner than current displays.

AbstractPhosphors are a class of materials which emit visible light when impacted by either electrons or photons. Phosphors are the critical material in all self-emissive displays. The major display technologies which depend on phosphors are cathode ray tubes, flat cathode ray tubes (especially, field emission displays), thin film electroluminescent displays, and gas discharge plasma displays. Each of these technologies started with phosphors prepared in powder form, sprayed or screen printed onto a faceplate suitable for viewing. Electroluminescent displays have largely converted to thin film phosphors. It can be expected that, for many applications, the other competing technologies will also come to rely on more robust, high definition, thin film phosphors. Presently, full color displays must utilize several deposition and etching procedures to prepare the red, green, and blue pixels. Ion implantation of color centers is now paving the way for producing full color displays in a single host phosphor. We shall discuss the present limitations that compromise full color self-emissive displays, and present state-of-the-art solutions based on thin films and ion implantation.

ABSTRACTHolographically formed polymer dispersed liquid crystal (H-PDLC) displays are investigated in terms of their electro-optic performance parameters and their potential as capable full color display systems. It is demonstrated that the transmission-voltage curve can be modified by low concentrations of chiral dopants, increasing the steepness of the response curve. To probe the details of full-color reflective H-PDLC displays, we invoke a generalized colorimetric/photometric analysis to estimate the display reflectance, white-point, and chromaticity diagram for a vertically integrated stack of red, green, and blue H-PDLC displays.

The recent technological advancements have greatly improved the quality and resolution of displays. Yet, issues like full-color gamut representation and the long-lasting durability of the color emitters require further progression. Colloidal quantum dots manifest an inherent narrow spectral emission with optical stability, combined with various chemical processability options which will allow for their integration in display applications. Apart from their numerous advantages, they also present unique opportunities for the next technological leaps in the field.

Colorful electrowetting displays (EWD) present many challenges, such as scalability and electro-optical performance improvement (e.g., brightness, color gamut, and contrast ratio). The first full investigation of scalable fabrication and testing processes for multi-color segmented EWD with potentially unprecedented electro-optical performance is proposed. A three-layer architecture is employed to achieve colorful EWD, where the key components are three primary color layers (cyan, magenta, and yellow), switched independently. Unlike previous reports referred to herein, which used the same fabrication and testing processes for each layer, this architecture facilitates a uniform performance, improves yield, and simplifies the process for colorful EWD. With an aperture ratio greater than 80%, National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) color gamut area greater than 63%, switching speed lower than 12 ms, and DC driving voltage below 22V, the testing results of colorful EWD are proven successfully by using our proposed processes. The processes investigated in this paper have greatly improved efficiency, suitable for a high-volume of full-color EWD.
