Abstract

A multi-stable and electrically switchable cholesteric liquid crystal based on chiral ionic liquid is demonstrated. The cholesteric liquid crystal can be switched among the planar texture, focal conic texture, wide-band reflected state, and fingerprint texture by applying specific electric fields. Each of these four states exists stably for several hours without any obvious change observed at room temperature. The electro-optical properties and driving scheme of the cholesteric liquid crystal are also reported.
