Free of dyes but colorful: A team of American and Korean researchers is the first to develop non-iridescent, structural, full-spectrum pigments, whose color is independent of the viewing angle, for use in reflective displays. The researchers reveal the secret of their success in the journal Angewandte Chemie: their "photonic pigments" are microcapsules filled with densely packed core–shell colloidal particles.
