Abstract

Structural color has attracted significant attention due to its durability

environmental friendliness

and high saturation. Chiral structural colors

in particular

hold great promise for advanced optical control due to their tunable polarization properties

making them ideal for next-generation optical devices. Blue-phase liquid crystals (BPLC)

with their unique three-dimensional chiral structures and dynamically adjustable structural colors

have drawn considerable interest from researchers. This review summarizes the patterning strategies

responsiveness

and applications of BPLC

beginning with an overview of their concept and fundamental properties.The review first introduces the basic principles and properties of BPLC

highlighting the methods to expand their temperature range

such as polymer-polymer stabilization

molecular tuning

and inorganic material doping. Next

it explores patterning techniques for BPLC and the multiple responsive behaviors of these patterns. Key preparation methods including chemical substrate patterning

mask-based techniques

inkjet printing

direct writing and laser cutting are discussed. The responsiveness of the patterns is discussed in terms of the optical property changes and pattern transformations induced by various external stimuli

including electrical

optical

thermal

mechanical

and solvent or vapor exposure.Finally

the article discusses the optical applications of BPLC in areas such as information transmission

lasers

and sensors

while also addressing current challenges in BPLC patterning and potential future research directions.
