摘要
Recent years have seen the emergence of new forms of photonic crystal structures for controlling electromagnetic waves in three dimensions. A further step is now being taken with the additional incorporation of liquid-crystal technology: the result could, for instance, be light-emitting diode displays with pixels whose colours can be altered.
