For the exploration of the applications using cholesteric liquid crystals, we attempted to control their helix pitch by the addition of self-assembled dendrimers into cholesteric liquid crystals. Consequently, we realized the stabilization and resettability of the helix pitch by the molecular interaction between the dendrimer and cholesteric liquid crystals.
