Displays based on magnetochromatic microcapsules with narrow size distribution, controllable size, shell thickness, and morphology, are presented by Zhong‐Ze Gu and co‐workers on page 2043 . The capsules are fabricated using a microfluidic technique and, when assembled, form multipixel arrays. Each microcapsule acts as an individual display unit, whose color can be controlled by an external magnetic field.
