Micro-winkling can turn a transparent thin-film of zinc oxide (ZnO) to be ‘opaque’ that can be reversed by unfolding to restore back to the clear state. This principle was previously used to make a mechanically tunable window device. However, ZnO thin film cannot make a compliant electrode to enable...
