Abstract

The realization of optoelectronic devices on paper has been an outstanding challenge due to the large surface roughness and incompatible nature of paper with optical materials. Here, we demonstrate a new class of optoelectronic devices on a piece of printing paper using graphene as an electrically reconfigurable optical medium. Our approach relies on electro-modulation of optical properties of multilayer graphene on paper via blocking the interband electronic transitions. The paper based devices yield high optical contrast in the visible spectrum with a fast response. Pattering graphene into multiple pixels, folding paper into three-dimensional shapes or printing colored ink on paper substrates enable us to demonstrate novel optoelectronic devices which cannot be realized with wafer-based techniques.
