Broadband Reflection Liquid Crystalline Film Prepared by Temperature Gradient
The chiral dopant ISBB with large helical twist power was synthesized. Temperature gradient across the liquid crystal layer was formed by imposing different temperature on 60.0 m ISBB/photo-polymerizable liquid crystalline monomer/nematic liquid crystal/photoinitiator composite layer's upper and lower surfaces. Because high temperature region could dissolve more ISBB than low temperature region
ISBB would diffuse from low tempe-rature region to high temperature region
then ISBB concentration gradient and pitch gra-dient was formed across the composite layer. After irradiating the layer with ultraviolet light
crosslinking between the photo-polymerizable monomers occurred and the pitch gra-dient was fixed. Finally
a broadband reflection liquid crystalline film which could reflect light circularly polarized visible light was prepared.
