Abstract

Abstract

We report electrically induced bi-stable color changes in cholesteric liquid crystals using the angular sensitivity of structural color. This switching behavior is achieved by tilting the angle of incidence from normal, so that the electric field induced helical orientation switching results in structural color changes.
