Nanocrystal display

Nanocrystal display

Nanocrystal displays are a new type of experimental display that uses robotic muscles to control small prisms that have white light shining through them. As the white light is split by the prisms, colour will be generated on a screen. A specific frequency of light can be obtained by rotating the prism to the corresponding angle with respect to the incident light beam.
