Modulated Visible Light Upconversion for Luminescence Patterns in Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks Loaded with Upconverting Nanoparticles

A novel and efficient strategy to modulate the luminescence intensity of upconversion nanoparticles for fabricating upconversion luminescence patterns in liquid crystal network composite films is demonstrated. The work provides a new way to make emission-based liquid crystal displays and optical functional films.
