Flexible High-Color-Purity Structural Color Filters Based on a Higher-Order Optical Resonance Suppression.

ABSTRACT: We present flexible transmissive structural color filters with high-color-purity based on a higher-order resonance suppression by inserting an ultrathin absorbing layer in the middle of a cavity. A 3rd order Fabry-Pérot (F-P) resonance, which exhibits a narrower bandwidth than a fundamental F-P resonance, is used to produce transmissive colors with an improved color purity. The thin absorbing layer is properly placed at a center of the cavity to highly suppress only a 5th order F-P resonance appearing at a short wavelength range while not affecting the 3rd order F-P resonance for color generation, thus being able to attain the high-color-purity transmissive colors without reducing a transmission efficiency. In addition, angle-insensitive properties are achieved by compensating a net phase shift with a dielectric overlay and using a material with a high refractive index for the cavity medium. Moreover, the transmissive colors on a flexible substrate are demonstrated, presenting that changes in both the resonance wavelength and the transmission efficiency are nearly negligible when the color filters are bent with a bending radius of 5?mm and over 3000 times bending tests. The described approach could pave the way for various applications, such as colored displays, decorative solar panels, and image sensors.

Project description:Color adaptation is a phenomenon in which, after prolonged exposure to a specific color (i.e. adaptation color), the perceived color shifts to approximately the opposite color direction of the adaptation color. Color adaptation is strongly related to sensitivity changes in photoreceptors, such as von Kries adaptation and cone-opponent mechanisms. On the other hand, the perceptual contrast of colors (e.g. perceptual saturation of the red-green direction) decreases after adaptation to a stimulus with spatial and/or temporal color modulation along the color direction. This phenomenon is referred to as color contrast adaptation. Color contrast adaptation has been used to investigate the representation of colors in the visual system. In the present study, we measured color perception after color contrast adaptation to stimuli with temporal color modulations along complicated color loci in a luminance-chromaticity plane. We found that, after the observers adapted to color modulations with different chromaticities at higher, medium, and lower luminance (e.g. temporal alternations among red, green, and red, each at a different luminance level), the chromaticity corresponding to perceptual achromaticity (the achromatic point) shifted to the same color direction as the adaptation chromaticity in each test stimulus luminance. In contrast, this luminance dependence of the achromatic point shift was not observed after adaptation to color modulations with more complex luminance-chromaticity correspondences (e.g. alternating red, green, red, green, and red, at five luminance levels, respectively). In addition, the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the luminance-dependent achromatic point shift was qualitatively predicted using a noncardinal model composed of channels preferring intermediate color directions between the cardinal chromaticity and luminance axes. These results suggest that the noncardinal channels are involved in the luminance-dependent perceived color shift after adaptation.
