Colour Change Materials for Novel Display Technology

At Halion, we believe that in the next 5 years displays will be everywhere. They’ll be in devices you wear, and on your walls at home, blending information into your environment. But to do that effectively we need a new display technology that is low power and visible in any lighting condition. We base our displays on the idea of inks on paper – there’s usually enough light to read a book or a magazine, and neither of those need a battery to work. There is a large gap between bright, vibrant displays and low power, highly visible reflective displays. At Halion we are building the technology needed to bridge this gap, focused on high visual quality, without compromising cost or power consumption. This accelerate project is focused on the synthesis of the coloured materials we need to bring this display technology to your next devices.
