Research paper thumbnail of P-83: Grey Scale Control of TIR Using Electrophoresis of Sub-Optical Pigment Particles

Grey-scale control of such reflection has now been achieved, using suspensions of sub-optical, non-scattering particles to modulate the real and imaginary component of the effective refractive index near the interface where the reflection occurs.

Actuation of the magenta particles yields a net magenta color and actuation of the cyan particles yields a net cyan color. Further, by actuating pairs of channels, the colors blue, green and red can be created: magenta with cyan ...

These benefits are achieved at no cost to the performance of a conventional LCD which is used as an integral part of High Dynamic Range display.

In this article we address the potential drawbacks of many traditional integrating spheres and present a new instrument which achieves accurate measurements without the use of baffles,

The system is effective with or without gravity, and can operate in any orientation. In this system, the positioned object need
