Abstract

The invention provides a method for carrying out patterning orientation on a liquid crystal elastomer and a preparation method of a touch display device. The liquid crystal elastomer is of a cross-linked network structure containing dynamic covalent bonds. The method for carrying out patterning orientation on the liquid crystal elastomer comprises the following steps: orienting at least part of molecular chains in a cross-linked network structure of a liquid crystal elastomer along a preset direction; applying electric heating driving or photo-thermal driving to the liquid crystal elastomer, wherein the electric heating driving mode is that a polyimide electric heating film is arranged on the liquid crystal elastomer, and the photo-thermal driving mode is that a photo-thermal response material is doped in the molecular chain of the liquid crystal elastomer; and heating the pre-oriented molecular chain of the liquid crystal elastomer through electric processing control of the polyimide electrothermal film or optical processing control of the photo-thermal response material, so that dynamic covalent bonds are subjected to an exchange reaction to form a new cross-linked network structure. According to the invention, mechanical processing and batch production of liquid crystal elastomer three-dimensional dynamic structures with different requirements and various complex patterns can be realized.
