Abstract

A phototunable laminated liquid crystal film with simultaneous multicolor reflection is successfully fabricated by doping a light-driven chiral molecular switch into the laminated cholesteric liquid crystal structure. Upon UV-light irradiation, the reflection notches and their hyper-reflectivity properties can be precisely tuned, and their original state can be properly returned by visible-light irradiation.
