Abstract

As a picture is worth a thousand words, display technology simplifies information sharing. In this chapter, the developments of structural colors based on various subwavelength structures are introduced, with some special attentions paid on the polarization-encoded and dynamic structural colors. Then, the meta-holography with polarization-independent/dependent, full-color, three-dimensional, high-efficiency, and broadband properties is discussed.
