Abstract

A printable and rewritable photonic polymer coating has been fabricated from a cholesteric liquid crystal. Full color images can be patterned in polymer coatings by using a liquid crystal ink. The printed patterns can be erased and rewritten multiple times, making these coatings interesting as rewritable papers.
