Abstract
The present invention relates to a humidity-sensing structural color emitting laminate and a structural color display device self-powered by triboelectricity including the same, and more specifically to a structural color display device self-powered by triboelectricity, which can directly sense humidity among human body signals and display the same in structural color immediately without a separate power source and without data processing, and a humidity-sensing structural color emitting laminate for implementing the same.
Claims9
A structural color display device which is self-powered by triboelectricity, comprising:
- an ionic gel electrode layer;
- and
- a humidity-sensing structural color emitting laminate formed on one surface of the electrode layer,
- wherein the humidity-sensing structural color emitting laminate, comprises:
- a block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic segment and a hydrophobic segment,
- wherein the hydrophilic segment forms a photonic crystal to form a hydrophilic layer, and the hydrophobic segment forms a photonic crystal to form a hydrophobic layer distinct from the hydrophilic layer,
- wherein the photonic crystal of the hydrophilic layer further comprises an alkali metal salt and a hydrophilic polymer, and the hydrophilic polymer forms an interpenetrate network with the hydrophilic segment, and
- wherein the hydrophilic layer and the hydrophobic layer are alternately laminated to have a structure that exhibits a structural color by light interference, and when the hydrophilic layer absorbs water, the hydrophilic layer swells such that the structural color changes.
