“…Pressure sensors based on sensitive force deformation represent a promising avenue for leveraging CLCPA technology in wearable devices [ 44 , 209 ]. These sensors have been explored for various applications, including exercise monitoring, healthcare diagnostics, and positional detection [ 210 , 211 ]. By incorporating CLCPA elements into pressure-sensitive materials, such as thin films or gels, researchers can develop wearable sensors capable of accurately detecting and quantifying external forces.…”

Creatures in nature make extensive use of structural color adaptive camouflage to survive. Cholesteric liquid crystals, with nanostructures similar to those of natural organisms, can be combined with actuators to produce bright structural colors in response to a wide range of stimuli. Structural colors modulated by nano-helical structures can continuously and selectively reflect specific wavelengths of light, breaking the limit of colors recognizable by the human eye. In this review, the current state of research on cholesteric liquid crystal photonic actuators and their technological applications is presented. First, the basic concepts of cholesteric liquid crystals and their nanostructural modulation are outlined. Then, the cholesteric liquid crystal photonic actuators responding to different stimuli (mechanical, thermal, electrical, light, humidity, magnetic, pneumatic) are presented. This review describes the practical applications of cholesteric liquid crystal photonic actuators and summarizes the prospects for the development of these advanced structures as well as the challenges and their promising applications.
