Abstract
A display device utilizes a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined configuration for recording and displaying information. Each pixel includes a substrate and a light modulating material for selectively modulating a predetermined wave length of light by transitoning between a first and a second state in response to a heater element. The light modulating material in the first state causes destructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light and in the second state causes constructive interference in the predetermined wave length of light. The pixel structure is buried within an aerogel thereby minimizing the heat dissipation rate from the pixels.
