Abstract

In order to achieve color fabric without dyeing, people dedicate to the research and development of green textiles. Structural coloration, also known as physical chromophore, with high saturation, high brightness, never fade, environmental friendly, By analyzing the structural coloration of the Mechanism and put forward the structure color instead of chromogenic dye. Through the observation of optical discoloration on the butterfly scales, one kind of photonic crystals, found that the optical effects make the scales show different colors.
