a Schematic representation of the pixelated structural coloration platform, consisting of a base with air channels, a supporting layer, and a main-chain CLCE membrane which was reversibly pneumatically actuated with pressure (p). b Top: photos showing simultaneous displays of R, G and B coloration at the same pressure by varying the aspect ratios, t/w = 0.04, 0.06 and 0.10. Bottom: photos showing the reflection spectral shift from NIR to visible and UV. c Demonstration of camouflage to match a background with periodic color patterns. Reproduced with permission72.
