Abstract

The present invention generally relates to surfaces having microf luidics, displays, windows, sensors, light interaction, control, etc. One aspect of the invention is directed to a display (10) containing microf luidics (14). Another aspect of the invention is directed to systems and methods for controlling the absorbance and/or transparency of a substrate. The invention, in still another aspect, is directed to the emission of light. In yet another aspect, the invention is directed to a substrate having a controllable substantially transparent region. The invention, in still another aspect, includes the production of text and/or an image on a surface. Other aspects of the invention include surfaces able to produce energy, surfaces able to sense external stimuli, self -cleaning surfaces, and/or surfaces able to control the environment surrounding the surface. Another aspect of the invention includes embodiments having surfaces able to transfer and/or transform energy. Yet other aspects of the invention include arrays of such surfaces, kits involving such surfaces, methods for making and/or using such surfaces, methods of promoting such surfaces, or the like.
