100x Sensitivity Image Sensor Based on Solar-cell Structure
Rohm Co Ltd and the Research Center for Photovoltaics of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have announced that they have succeeded in prototyping a CIGS (Cu-In-Ga-Se) image sensor that has approximately 100 times the sensitivity of CCD, CMOS and other Si-based image sensors.
Butterfly Displays Offer Vivid Color, Long Battery Life
(..) the wings of the butterfly are covered with tiny scales that reflect incoming light, setting up constructive interference effects at a wavelength at about 400 nanometers, which happens to be blue light. You can get any color you want by varying the size of the scales, which changes the wavelength at which constructive interference happens.
