Background color dependent photonic multilayer films for anti-counterfeiting labeling

-BPA)) (P4QP-51%). The films exhibited remarkable color transitions with reliable reversibility and reproducibility. Films placed on a black background exhibited the full visible spectrum color in a high humidity environment. Additionally, films placed on a white background displayed three different composite colors, including yellow, magenta, and cyan. These films with vivid color transitions in a high humidity environment can be applied as anti-counterfeiting films. A hidden QR code was also laser printed on the initial PC film to enhance the film's anti-counterfeiting security capabilities. These colorimetric 1D PC films can be used as anti-counterfeiting labels and for information storage.
