Abstract

In this paper, a temperature indicating device with double-layer planar texture cholesteric liquid crystal (PTCLC) is designed, which has great advantages over temperature card. It works based on the temperature dependence of the cholesteric liquid crystal helical pitch and the Bragg Reflection of PTCLC. A white light source is placed on one side of the waveguide element of the temperature indicating device, and only light of a particular wavelength can form guided wave due to the Bragg Reflection. The feasibility of the temperature indicating device was verified by measuring the Bragg reflectance spectrum and chromaticity coordinates at different temperatures.
