The liquid crystal composition forming the liquid crystal layer comprises liquid crystal material, quantum dots material mixed in the liquid crystal material, polymeric monomer and chiral material; the polymeric monomer is polymerized to form a polymer network under a blue phase temperature range as forming the liquid crystal layer, which can stabilize the blue phase liquid crystal, and thus to expand the blue phase temperature range. The grain size of the quantum dots material in the liquid crystal composition is in the nano scale, which can expand the blue phase liquid crystal temperature range. Namely, the blue phase temperature range of the liquid crystal material has already been expanded before the polymeric monomer is polymerized.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing coating layer having highly aligned nanomaterial in a lyotropic liquid crystal matrix. More specifically, it relates to a method for preparing coating layer having highly aligned nanomaterial by applying shearing force to a composite of nano material and lyotropic liquid crystal material after mixing the nano material and the lyotropic liquid crystal material. The present invention has an advantage in that orientation of nanomaterials, which have a high industrial utilization but are difficult to control orientation, can be controlled very easily and simply by applying a shearing force using a medium, such as a lyotropic liquid crystal matrix which is extractable from nature, thereby cheap and biocompatible. Further, the present invention can induce a highly aligned orientation of nanomaterials over a wide area, and can be applied to produce a plasmonic color filter film using a polarization dependent surface plasmonic resonance phenomenon of the oriented nanomaterials.
