摘要
We have demonstrated multicolored reflections showing various whitish colors from a bichiral liquid crystal (LC) film. The bichiral LC film was fabricated by using left-handed and right-handed polymeric cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) films with two different helical pitches and an isotropic polymer film in between. Color temperatures of the multiple reflections are controlled from similar to 4000 K to similar to 10000 K by changing linear polarization directions of normally incident and reflected lights. This characteristic can extend practical applications of CLCs to illuminant devices. (C)2010 Optical Society of America
