#Mirrorlike display creates rich color pixels by harnessing ambient light (Nanowerk News) Using a simple structure comprising a mirror
researchers have developed a display technology that harnesses natural ambient light to produce an unprecedented range of colors
An article describing their innovative approach appears today in The Optical Society's new high-impact journal Optica("Continuous Color Reflective Displays Using Interferometric Absorption".
"This display technology, which could greatly reduce the amount of power used in multiple consumer electronics products,
the new design helps solve many key problems affecting mobile displays such as how to provide an always-on display function without requiring more frequent battery charging
and blue (RGB) of earlier display technologies.""We have developed an entirely new way of creating a color display,
"said John Hong, a researcher with Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc. and lead author on the Optica paper."
"The incredibly efficient display is able to create a rich palette of colors using only ambient light for viewing,
"Harnessing Ambient light Typical color displays are essential yet power-hungry components of virtually every digital product with a human-machine interface, from cell phones and computers to home televisions and massive displays
engineers have been exploring ways to replace emissive technologies with displays that can reflect ambient light. Earlier attempts to create reflective light color displays,
however, presented a number of vexing problems. The designs required using three separate pixels to produce the red
green and blue of a traditional display. Though adequate for certain applications, the fact that only one-third of the incoming light can be reflected back toward the viewer in a typical reflective RGB format limits the gamut of colors and brightness of the display.
The new display reported in Optica is able to overcome these hurdles by reflecting more of the incoming light
and enabling the full spectrum of visible light to be displayed, including bright white and deep black.
Extending Power and Saving Energy Depending on how the display is used, the power savings can exceed current backlit technologies tenfold.
when a particular image is retained on the display, which then operates like a form of analog memory in a virtually power-free display mode.
The design presented in the paper consists of a panel that is about 1. 5 inches across
Both the resolution and area of the display, however, can be scaled to match those of various mobile devices such as Internet-of-Things (Iot) enabled wearables and smartphones.
"No more squinting at a hard to read display outdoors where we spend much of our time,"noted Hong."

"The storage mechanism in DVDS is based on the fact that laser pulses rearrange the structure of the material,
While DVDS are likely to soon become a thing of the past, this may not apply to their storage material.
The material owes its job to the fact that, in rewritable DVDS, laser pulses can convert it very quickly from a strongly reflective crystalline state into a much less reflective disordered version..
