COLOR DISPLAYS BASED ON MAGNETOCHEMISTRY.

Abstract

The report describes some studies and experiments performed to develop a color film which is responsive to a magnetic field. The film consists of randomly positioned particles of magnetostrictive material with outer shells of brittle metallic coatings. By applying a small external magnetic field (.007-.008 oersteds) to the film, the magnetostrictive material changes size and shape such that the coatings break and allow chemical reactions which result in colors. The investigation includes studies and experiments with magnetostrictive, transparent and brittle coatings and color forming chemicals. (Author)
