Abstract
Electrochromic devices have found widespread use in automotive, aerospace, and architectural implementations. This talk will detail our recent research of liquid crystalline compositions in which the selective reflection can be tuned, broadened, and switched. This distinctive electro-optic control is enabled by polymer stabilization of the cholesteric liquid crystal phase. Enabled by recent advancements in the preparation of liquid crystalline elastomers, we also detail the thermal and electrical adjustment of reflection in fully solid optical elements.
