Morpho Butterfly Wings Use Color Structure

Morpho butterfly wings are characterized by “structural color,” which produces color due to light interference. The scales on the wing form a minutely uneven surface in a lamellate structure. The appearance of unevenness in the scales is exactly half of the wavelength of blue light, so that it strongly reflects back only the color blue when hit by light.

Resouce/Energy/Information Transmission & Production:: Color changing

Defense/Stability:: Light resistance

Resource saving

The structural color mechanism, in which the color produced varies depending on the angle or the strength of light, has been used in development of car or building paint, textiles, clothing, makeup, and optical displays. Structural color does not lose color due to UV rays, etc., and is long lasting, so that it can be used in products with a long life cycle. Structural color does not require a lot of water as do dyes, and nor does it use chemicals like in chemical dying, so dying techniques or paints created with this technology have low environmental impact. The structural color mechanism can be used to create various colors without using pigments or dyes, and can also be used in the development of jewelry, decorations, and light-emitting devices, etc.
