Back Cover: On‐off switching of reflection from multi‐bilayered films consisting of azo‐polymer liquid crystal and polyvinylalcohol was achieved by annealing and UV‐irradiation. The switching is based on the difference in the refractive indices (Δ n ) between the polymer layers, arising from the change in the molecular orientation of azo‐chromophores.
