Reply to comment by tornpentacle in Australian and UK researchers have developed a proof-of-concept display technology that is 100-times thinner than liquid crystal cells and offers a tenfold greater resolution. by unswsydney

I’m guessing it works similarly to how a chameleon changes color or how peacock feathers shine blue

A chameleon’s skin doesn’t show colors through pigments. It rather changes structure to scatter light at different wavelengths, trapping some light, while letting some of it through, showing colors.

I’m just guessing that’s how this tech works though. I always wondered why we didn’t go in that direction to create color anyways. Might not be what’s going on here
