Project Summary: The program focuses on developing a new class of high-resolution, high-speed, low-power-consumption, full-color electronic paper displays (E-PADs) using molecular motors as active components. The specific molecular motors to be used are redgreen-blue (RGB) tri-station catenanes. The proposed research will (1) investigate the electrochromic properties of RGB catenanes in polymeric matrix, and (2) construct a prototype color-switchable E-PAD based on RGB catenanes. Intellectual Merit: Artificial molecular motors and machines such as RGB catenanes represent a promising and challenging field of interdisciplinary research. If successful, this research could lead to a new technology for energy efficient, high speed and full color display technology. Broader Impact: In addition to its technical contributions, this NSF project will impact society by implementing vigorous education and outreach programs that are closely integrated with the proposed research and designed for groups at all levels. Underrepresented students will participate extensively in the proposed research.

项目概要：该项目的重点是开发一种新型高分辨率、高速、低功耗、全彩电子纸显示器（E-PAD），使用分子电机作为有源组件。所使用的具体分子马达是红绿蓝（RGB）三站链烷。拟议的研究将（1）研究聚合物基质中 RGB 索烷的电致变色特性，以及（2）构建基于 RGB 索烷的原型可切换颜色的 E-PAD。智力优势：人造分子马达和机器（例如 RGB 索烷）代表了跨学科研究的一个充满希望和挑战的领域。如果成功，这项研究可能会带来一种节能、高速和全彩显示技术的新技术。更广泛的影响：除了技术贡献外，该 NSF 项目还将通过实施积极的教育和推广计划来影响社会，这些计划与拟议的研究紧密结合，并为各级群体设计。代表性不足的学生将广泛参与拟议的研究。
