Abstract

In one embodiment, the invention provides a device for modulating light. The device comprises a fixed geometry component to modulate light, said component providing at least one conformal surface; and a plurality of motiles that are displaceable to conform to the conformal surface, an optical response of the fixed geometry component to incident light when the motiles conform to the conformal surface being different from when the motiles do not conform to the conformal surface.
