Reversible Broad‐Spectrum Control of Selective Reflections of Chiral Nematic Phases by Closed‐/Open‐Type Axially Chiral Azo Dopants

We demonstrate reversible RGB‐color photocontrol of a chiral nematic liquid crystal (N*LC) by using newly synthesized closed‐ and open‐type chiral dopants. The photoswitching elements in the dopants are azobenzene units on axially chiral binaphthyl cores. Owing to cis–trans photoisomerization of the...
