Light fastness of liquid crystal-based thermochromic printing inks
Dyes and Pigments, 2020 Thermochromic inks are known for their poor stability against UV light, appearing differently in leuco dye-based and liquid crystal-based ink types. The leuco dye-based inks lose the colour contrast between the coloured and discoloured states but the temperature at which the colour changes stays the same.
