METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR THERMAL PRINTING OF PHOTONIC CRYSTAL MATERIALS, AND THERMALLY PRINTABLE PHOTONIC CRYSTAL MATERIALS AND ASSEMBLIES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/162805

Kind Code:

A8

Abstract:

Methods and systems for thermal printing of thermally printable photonic crystal materials and assemblies. The photonic crystal materials and assemblies are responsive to thermal stimuli, wherein temperatures above a thermal threshold results in an optically detectable change in the appearance of the materials and assemblies. Heat is selectively applied to one or more portions of the materials and assemblies, in order to thermally print a graphic onto the materials and assemblies.
