However, achieving tunable structuralcolors in practical applications is challenging owing to the immutabilityafter the fabrication of metasurfaces. Herein, we proposed the polarization-switchabledielectric metasurfaces with full colors. The colorful images canbe switched on/off by controlling the polarization of incident light.For the nanorods metasurfaces, all colors turned to black in the "off"mode because of the near-zero reflection, and the uniform black wasadvantageous for designing encryption applications. For the nanocrossesmetasurfaces, colors reversed in two different "on"modes and images hidden in the "off" mode. With thepolarization-sensitive metasurfaces, a fish-bird image, anoverlapped dual-channel image, and a green-red heart imagewere obtained, respectively. The demonstrations can be applied todynamic displays, optical cryptography, multichannel imaging, andoptical data storage.
