STRUCTURALLY-COLORED ARTICLES AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING STRUCTURALLY-COLORED ARTICLES

Abstract:

As described above, one or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles having structural color, and methods of making articles having structural color. The optical element can have different sections that have different relative thicknesses. For example, a first section of the optical element disposed on the first area of the article can have a first average thickness and a second section of the optical element disposed on the second area can have a second average thickness. The first section of the optical element imparts a first structural color and the second section imparts a second structural color.
