Through the looking glass: A reflection color transition is demonstrated in a smectic liquid crystal doped with a photochromic azobenzene and a chiral agent with high helical twisting power. The reflection color can be switched reversibly due to the isomerization of azobenzene upon UV/visible irradiation (see picture).
