‘Metasurfaces’ could spark next generation of significantly thinner and cheaper flat screens
Electrically switchable metasurface pixels by flash localized heating. a Illustration of the fabricated sample, composed of designed nanoholes in a silicon film, so-called hole array metasurfaces, embedded in an ITO transparent heater. The pixel’s optical responses are switched by applying a voltage across the contacts, which locally heats the metasurfaces. …
