It is of great practical significance to develop efficient and reversible bistable liquid crystal films. This work provides a multiple phase-shift controllable liquid crystal film containing tungsten bronze (Cs x WO 3 ) nanorods (NRs) and cholesteric liquid crystal, which can reversibly control the phase-shift via electric field, temperature or near infrared light. The Cs x WO 3  NRs were coated by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) layer, and the Cs x WO 3 /PVP NRs could form a compatible NIR-absorbing film, which could generate heat to switch LC film from planar texture to focal conic texture. The bistable liquid crystal film could save almost 53% time at thermal elimination compared to LC mixture without NIR absorbent when the content of Cs x WO 3 /PVP NRs reaches 0.8%. The functional bistable liquid crystal films reported in this paper expand the application field of bistable liquid crystal display.
