Abstract
Anticounterfeiting photonic bilayer films were fabricated by sandwiching two solid-state cholesteric liquid crystal films having different handedness. The fabricated photonic bilayer films were successfully applied to patterning by selective photopolymerization. This photonic bilayer film as a new cryptographic technology is of interest for its anticounterfeiting application.
