Color Vision01:24

Color Vision

Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.

  • Characterizing device performance including color gamut, stability, switching speed, and optical memory.

Main Results:

  • The device exhibits unique structural colors (e.g., yellow-green, purple, light red) due to resonance.
  • Demonstrated remarkable cycling stability (84% modulation after 7200 cycles) and rapid switching (2.6s coloration, 2.8s bleaching).
  • Achieved excellent optical memory (13.8% increase after ~36,000s) and dual-responsive anti-counterfeiting effects.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MDM resonant cavity enables unique structural colors in all-solid-state electrochromic devices.
  • The device shows significant improvements in stability, switching speed, and optical memory, broadening industrial applicability.
