At MWC 2023, Tecno introduces its new Chameleon Coloring Technology. This tech can be embedded in the back of a smartphone for color changing effect. Tecno also explained how this technology works.
The Chameleon Coloring Technology uses a grid of sub-micron prism material that changes direction when an electric field is applied. By adjusting the prism’s direction, it may refract light in a variety of wavelengths and produce an array of iridescent colors.
There is also software that lets you manipulate the sub-micron prism arrangement. So, you can select from a total of 1600 different colors or let it randomly select a color based on the battery level, music, or notifications.
It has a 0.03-second color change time and also uses very little energy. Tecno claims that 100 changes throughout a day use as much energy as watching a 5-minute video.
Color changing back is not a new concept but this is the first time when a company will let users select the color. We have no information on when the technology will be commercially available in Tecno smartphones.
