Abstract

The demonstration of non-volatile color-depth modulation in novel phase change nanodisplays allowing for continuous "grayscale" images with ultrahigh resolution and low dimensionality is described. These results hold promise for a new generation of bistable, ultrahigh-resolution, and flexible display technologies, while allowing for other potential applications in nanophotonics and optoelectronics.

Keywords: color switching; phase-change materials; reflective nanodisplays.
