"tiny transparent pixels array produces low-power, broadband, low-loss and fast nonlinearities, from low-power ambient light... incoming images processed without conversion to digital signal... cheap low power camera like one with super-resolution... transparent plane 1 cm square using 2D semiconductor... does not absorb much light, but sufficient so that each pixel can change from completely transparent to partially transparent to opaque... reduced glare smartphone camera, sensors, image encryption"
