A Self-Sensing Electroactive Soft Photonic Device for Improvement of Color Expression Performance

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a paradigm that can control the areal strain of the photonic device using self-sensing method without any additional measurement devices. A self-sensing DE actuator concept was presented by Kwangmok Jung and we apply this concept to our photonic device for accurate color correction and fast response time. We can utilize the deformation data of the photonic deivce to estimate its color expression. So, the areal strain control makes color expression more accurate without any external optical sensors.
