An Optical Display Based on Chemical Release from Printed Porous Voxels

Case ID:

C13174

Disclosure Date:

7/25/2014

We describe the concept of utilizing precisely patterned and chemically loaded three-dimensional porous containers akin to “chemical voxels” to enable dynamic visual patterns via spatial and temporal control of both local and global chemical release. Using numerical simulations and experiments, we show how variations in porosity, volume, shape and relative positioning of the chemical voxels can be used to control the types of images that are formed with control in both space and time. We generate moving images via controlled chemical release from an array of voxels to create an animation of a “running man” figure thereby illustrating proof-of-concept for a chemical display.
