Tunable Optical Polymer Systems (TOPS)

Abstract

The research program focused on new polymeric materials for use in reflective displays and other optoelectronic applications. It was carried out by a consortium of seven researchers from four universities (University of Rochester, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Texas at Austin, and Utah State University). The cornerstone of the planned research was to design, synthesize, and characterize polymeric materials having environmentally responsive optical properties, which allows them to be switched efficiently. In recognition of the importance of studying these materials in the context of their intended application, the team included expertise in modeling, fabricating, and evaluating display devices and systems.
