Advanced Plasmonic Materials for Dynamic Color Display

Abstract

Plasmonic structures exhibit promising applications in high-resolution and durable color generation. Research on advanced hybrid plasmonic materials that allow dynamically reconfigurable color control has developed rapidly in recent years. Some of these results may give rise to practically applicable reflective displays in living colors with high performance and low power consumption. They will attract broad interest from display markets, compared with static plasmonic color printing, for example, in applications such as digital signage, full-color electronic paper, and electronic device screens. In this progress report, the most promising recent examples of utilizing advanced plasmonic materials for the realization of dynamic color display are highlighted and put into perspective. The performances, advantages, and disadvantages of different technologies are discussed, with emphasis placed on both the potential and possible limitations of various hybrid materials for dynamic plasmonic color display.

Dynamically reconfigurable control of plasmonic colors has great potential in the realization of full-color reflective visual displays with high performance and low energy consumption. This progress report provides a focused overview of recent development in utilizing advanced plasmonic materials for the realization of dynamic color displays.
