Abstract
Abstract— As an emerging class of photonic materials, morphologically stable glassy liquid crystals, were developed following a versatile molecular design approach. Glassy cholesteric liquid crystals with elevated phase‐transition temperatures and capability for selective‐wavelength reflection and circular polarization were synthesized via deterministic synthesis strategies. Potential applications of glassy cholesteric liquid crystals include high‐performance polarizers, optical notch filters and reflectors, and circularly polarized photoluminescence. A glassy nematic liquid crystal comprising a dithienylethene core was also synthesized for the demonstration of nondestructive rewritable optical memory and photonic switching in the solid state.
