Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have developed a color-changing surface that is tunable via electric voltage, a breakthrough they say could lead to three times the resolution for electronics devices.
By applying different voltages, the researchers were able to change the color of individual subpixels to red, green, or blue, or gradations in between. In addition, by eliminating the three static subpixels that currently make up every pixel, the researchers say the size of individual pixels can be reduced by three, which in turn would multiply the resolution by three.
Furthermore, since there would no longer be a need to turn off some subpixels to display a solid color, the brightness of screens could be much greater.
The UCF researchers currently are attempting to scale up the displays in preparation for bringing the technology to the private sector.
