Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In some embodiments, an electrochromic pixel includes a first electrode having a first electrical lead facilitating a power supply connection and a second electrode having a second electrical lead facilitating the power supply connection. The electrochromic pixel further includes an electrolyte electrically connecting the first and second electrodes, and xanthommatin (Xa), or a derivative or precursor thereof, such that an electrical potential applied between the first electrode and the second electrode is configured to cause an oxidation or reduction of the xanthommatin (Xa), or a derivative or precursor thereof, thereby providing a change in reflected visible color of the Xa, or a derivative or precursor thereof.
