At the center is a hexagonal lattice structure labeled “KBBF-like honeycombed 2D layer” with surrounding text: “Large Birefringence,” “Expanded Bandgap,” and “Wide Transmission Range.” The top left inset depicts crystal structures of [TeO₃] and [ScO₆] units with arrows indicating ordinary and extraordinary rays. The top right inset shows a balance scale labeled “Transparency” and “Eg” representing trade-off between transparency and bandgap. At the bottom, a horizontal color spectrum bar spans ultraviolet (UV) to far infrared (FIR), marked from 200 nm to 7 μm, with labels for UV, NIR, MIR, FIR and a highlighted wavelength of 236 nm.
