In this paper, we present our recent studies on liquid crystal gel films as the light modulation layer for stretchable liquid crystal displays. The liquid crystal gel with self-assembly dendrimer showed light modulation based on electro-optical effect, durability to elongation and structural recovery by thermal treatment. Reversible reaction of self-assembled network will be useful for lifetime-free stretchable liquid crystal display.
