Composition for multi-color display material and manufacturing method thereof, and optical device and displaying method thereof
A composition for multi-color display material, including a periodic structure having a void structure inside that communicates with the outside, and a mobile particle that is selectively disposed inside or outside of the void structure of the periodic structure.
1. A composition for multi-color display material, comprising:
a periodic structure having a void structure inside that communicates with the outside; and
a mobile particle that has a volume-average particle diameter of 1 nm to 1 μm, and is selectively disposed inside or outside of the void structure of the periodic structure,
wherein the periodic structure is a porous structure.
2. The composition for multi-color display material of claim 1 , wherein the material of the periodic structure is colored.
3. The composition for multi-color display material of claim 1 , wherein the material of the periodic structure is not colored.
4. The composition for multi-color display material of claim 1 , wherein the mobile particle is a metallic nanoparticle.
5. The composition for multi-color display material of claim 4 , wherein the metallic nanoparticle is at least one selected from gold, silver, titanium oxide, silica and zinc oxide.
6. A displaying method for an optical device comprising
a pair of substrates;
a composition for multi-color display material located between the pair of substrates, comprising a periodic structure having a void structure inside that communicates with the outside, and a mobile particle that has a volume-average particle diameter of 1 nm to 1 μm, and is selectively disposed inside or outside of the void structure of the periodic structure; and
a selection and arrangement section that selectively disposes the mobile particle inside or outside of the void structure of the periodic structure,
the method comprising:
transferring the mobile particle to the inside of the void structure of the periodic structure, and
transferring the mobile particle to outside of the void structure of the periodic structure,
wherein the periodic structure is a porous structure.
7. The displaying method for an optical device of claim 6 , wherein multi-color display is performed by variation in the ratio of abundance of the mobile particle inside of the void structure of the periodic structure.
8. The displaying method for an optical device of claim 6 , wherein multi-color display is performed by localizing the mobile particle inside of the void structure of the periodic structure.
9. The displaying method for an optical device of claim 6 , wherein the material color of the periodic structure is displayed when the structural color of the periodic structure is not colored, or when the structural color of the periodic structure shows no coloration due to the transfer of the mobile particle to the inside of the void structure of the periodic structure.
