Biomimetic Multicolor‐Separating Photonic Skin using Electrically Stretchable Chiral Photonic Elastomers (Adv. Mater. 31/2023)

Multicolor Switching In article number 2302456, Su Seok Choi and co-workers investigate biomimetic multicolor separation control of mechanochromic switching using electrically stretchable chiral liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs). With advanced engineering of electrically stretchable CLCEs, various multicolor switching devices are experimentally verified. A chameleon-like synthetic multicolor photonic skin control is also reported, with invisibility switching using electrically stretchable CLCEs. The conceived multicolor CLCEs are also validated with camouflage information control using color pixels reconfiguration and invisibility switching.
