This work demonstrates approach for improvement of electro‐optic performance and light reflectance properties of electrically‐controlled reflective heliconical cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC oh ) textures. A noticeable increase of the electric field range which supports the CLC oh texture is demonstrated by using photo polymerization with polarized UV light. Such performance improvement broadens the scope of potential applications of CLC oh materials in electro‐optical devices.
