We report high performance reflective color filters based on one-dimensional metal-dielectric multilayer. Wide viewing angle of ±50°, far beyond that with conventional all-dielectric multilayers, is achieved while maintaining approximately 100% peak reflectance and color reproducibility. Reflectance of 40% in white mode and color gamut of 47% to the United States National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) standard is demonstrated. The proposed color filter is integrated into 3.5-in. color reflective display and shows 30% increase in brightness than conventional dye color filters.

An organic memory device based on a pentacene thin film transistor is demonstrated. Gold nanoparticles have been used as the charge storage elements while a thin film of polymethylmethacrylate formed the gate insulator. The electrical characteristics and the memory behavior of the organic thin film memory transistor (OTFMT) are reported. Under an appropriate gate bias (1 s pulses), the gold nanoparticles are charged and discharged, resulting in significant threshold voltage shifts of the OTFMT. The detailed programing and erasing procedures are reported.
