Based on the cholesteric liquid crystal structure color material, the printable ink is prepared by uniformly dispersing the liquid crystal microcapsule in an oily or aqueous binder. However, the size of the liquid crystal microspheres in the obtained cholesteric liquid crystal structural color material is effectively controlled by a simple and feasible method, and the size uniformity is poor; and the thickness of the shell material of the microsphere polymer needs to be controlled to be thin enough to meet the selective absorption and reflection of the cholesteric liquid crystal core material on visible light, so that the saturation and the presentation effect of color are ensured.
