World’s First Full-Color, Flexible, Plasmonic Skin-like Display
Introducing the e-skin display technology, worlds first flexible full color display, a few microns thick that allows you to change the color and patterns instantly.
Imagine a soldier![]() Imagine a soldier who can change the color and pattern of his camouflage uniform from woodland green to desert tan at will. Or an office worker who could do the same with his necktie. Is someone at the wedding reception wearing the same dress as you? No problem – switch yours to a different color in the blink of an eye. We have developed a ground breaking e-skin display that makes this possible.

“Inspired by nature”We have developed a ground breaking technique (patent pending) for creating a full-color, flexible thin-film reflective display, which we call e-skin display. Traditional displays like those on a mobile phone require a light source, filters and a glass plates. But animals like chameleons, octopuses and squids are born with thin, flexible, color-changing displays that don't need a light source - their skin. complex body contour, and it's stretchable and flexible. The ultrathin e-skin display doesn't need its own light source, rather, it reflects the ambient light around it and uses a small voltage to change the color reflected across the entire visible spectrum. The display is just a few microns thick; in comparisonhuman hair is 100 microns thick. The applications range fromwearables like clothing, tvs, readers, advertising, DoD related applications, etc

Demo
The demo video you see is a video of a plasmonic nano display prototype that is 1 mm x 0.75 mm in dimension, magnified 10 times. The famous Afghan Girl image was rendered on the nano display and the Afghan Girl image colors were changed by applying a small voltage. The video of the changing colors was recorded using microscopic photography.
Notice the density of pixels in the 1mm square surface area, about 1814 pixels per inch. Each pixel is 10 microns x 10 microns. In comparison, the IPhone pixel is about 76 microns x 76 microns.
Note: The video is pixlated as it is magnified 10 times and recorded using a microscope

Below are two images, the prototype on glass, and the other on Flexible PET (polyethylene terephthalate). The glass prototype has the famous Afghan girl image printed on the prototype and can change colors with the application of a small voltage, see demo video above shot through a microscope. The flexible prototype shows the letters UCF rendered on a material similar to a water bottle and shows that the prototype can be rendered on flexible/contoured surfaces. It also changes color with the application of a small voltage.
