The growth of YMn0.35In0.65O3 thin films and their optical and magnetic behavior are reported. The YMn0.35In0.65O3 thin film grows along the (0001) orientation with hexagonal structure similar to YMnO3 on c-plane sapphire. The film shows paramagnetic behavior in the temperature range measured. The film exhibits a blue color due to the electronic transition in the red-green region of the visible spectrum. The development of such a relatively low cost, eco-friendly and highly stable chromophore can be used as a blue filter layer in color filter array.
