Muscling up color: Polymer splits light for true color in displays

Article Abstract:

Artificial muscles might help in producing true colors in future television and computer screens. The scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have devised a new way to paint the screen by developing a prototype high-resolution microscope that redirects monochromatic light beams with artificial muscle membranes.
