Inorganic–organic composite films for rewritable optical storage are fabricated base on the reversible luminescence modulation of ordered upconversion nanopatterns via a photochromic diarylethene. The near‐IR excitation for reading the upconversion emission does not affect the recorded data bits. Moreover, the spatially well‐defined 2D nanopatterns promise future applications in ultrahigh‐density storage.
