Concept

High n

This is an image of an application example using a high refractive material. In the arrangement of green, red, white (clear), and blue pixels, it prevents light entering through the clear pixels from mixing with the red pixels.

High n clear pixel

Low n

This is an image of an application example using low-refraction materials. It shows an anti-reflective coating that prevents light from being reflected in the green pixels, and a grid structure that prevents light from entering the red pixels from the green pixels.
