Abstract: Components of an electronic device, such as glass components, are susceptible to surface damage. Glass components can be strengthened by providing ceramic particles at the exposed surface of the glass. Ceramic particles can also provide optical features, such as color, opacity, and haze to enhance the appearance of the resulting composite article. Where ceramic particles are provided at the exposed surface, the ceramic particles can also produce a desired tactile feature. These features can be provided in various combinations and in different ways across different regions to produce a desired look and feel of the resulting composite article.

Abstract: Flexible photonic crystal structures capable of changing color in response to strain are described. Methods for forming two-dimensional and three-dimensional flexible photonic crystal structures are described. In some aspects, the flexible photonic crystal structures include an array of holes or voids formed within a flexible material. The flexible material changes dimensions of the array when the flexible photonic crystal structures is stretched, pulled, pushed or bent. In some aspects, the flexible photonic crystal structures include an array of features made of a first material, such as a first type of polymer, embedded within a matrix material made of a second material, such as a second type of polymer. The flexible photonic crystal structures can be used in the manufacture of consumer products, such as electronic products, electronic product accessories, thin films, flexible displays and wearable products.

Abstract translation: 描述了能够响应于应变改变颜色的柔性光子晶体结构。 描述形成二维和三维柔性光子晶体结构的方法。 在一些方面，柔性光子晶体结构包括在柔性材料内形成的孔阵列或空隙。 当柔性光子晶体结构被拉伸，拉伸，推动或弯曲时，柔性材料改变阵列的尺寸。 在一些方面，柔性光子晶体结构包括由第一材料（例如第一类聚合物）制成的特征阵列，其嵌入由第二材料制成的基质材料，例如第二类聚合物。 柔性光子晶体结构可用于消费产品的制造，例如电子产品，电子产品配件，薄膜，柔性显示器和可穿戴产品。
