Abstract

A composite film with multiple anti-counterfeiting features was demonstrated by superposing quantum dots (QDs) polymer matrix (film A) and cholesteric liquid crystal film (film B) together. The first-line and second-line anti-counterfeiting characteristics were successfully implemented by employing thermochromic, angular photochromic, and circularly polarized discoloration of film B, respectively. By initiatively utilizing the different relative positions between the fluorescence emission peak (λem) of film A and the central selective reflection wavelength (λm) of film B at different temperatures, which resulted in changes in the fluorescence spectra or the different presence of latent patterns, the most important third-line anti-counterfeiting feature was successfully achieved.
