  • Transparent displays with scattering nanoparticles and thin films for enhanced scattering
    Patent number: 10324237
    Abstract: A transparent display includes nanoparticles having wavelength-selective scattering (e.g., resonant scattering) to preferentially scatter light at one or more discrete wavelengths so as to create images. The nanoparticles transmit light at other wavelengths to maintain a high transparency of the display. The nanoparticles are disposed in proximity to a thin film, which can enhance the scattering the process by reflecting light back to the nanoparticles for re-scattering or increasing the quality factor of the resonant scattering.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2019
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Marin Soljacic, Bo Zhen, Emma Anquillare, Yi Yang, Chia Wei Hsu, John D. Joannopoulos
