After the optimization of the simulation project, I used the following structures and
settings to achieve corresponding optical behaviors.

19. During the simulation, I found that both the material and its thickness influenced
the transmittance a lot. The color spectrum shifted to red when I increased the
SiO2 thickness but it shifted to blue when I increased the metal thickness.
Furthermore, to take care of ON and OFF balance in the same time for all red,
green, and blue colors was very challenging because when I wanted to balance
ON for all red, green, and blue, the balance of OFF of those three structures
worsened.
As a result, I felt that a complete design to take care of both ON and OFF for all
red, green, and blue might require novel material development. For example, new
metal alloy to support specific (n, k) along wavelengths. Another possible solution
is to put more layers into the structure but the process complexity and cost become
concerns.
