S. M. Jeong and co‐workers demonstrate on page 4848 the complete color conversion of mechanoluminescence (ML) from green to red using spontaneous fluorescent‐dye‐diffusion in zinc sulfide (ZnS) microparticles embedded in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) framework. The red luminescence could be achieved by 4‐(dicyanomethylene)‐2‐ t ‐butyl‐6‐(1,1,7,7‐tetramethyljulolidyl‐9‐enyl)‐4H‐pyran (DCJTB) fully absorbing green mechanoluminescence (ML) from ZnS. The straightforward approach may be applied to manipulate broader color expression for future ML applications.
