Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of processing and forming, and in particular relates to a liquid crystal photonic crystal material with variable iridescent colors and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Photonic crystal iridescence can be seen everywhere in nature, such as gemstones of various colors, morpho butterfly wings, peacock feathers, insect watch cases, etc. Specifically, the iridescent color is different from the dyes and pigments of chemical pigments. It is based on a series of optical processes of visible light waves in the micro-nano photonic crystal structure to generate structural colors corresponding to the scale of nano-units, and Has a property that varies with angle. The iridescent material has the advantages of angular discoloration, green environmental protection, high light intensity, and never fades. It has great application potential in the fields of color, anti-counterfeiting, laser, and mi...
