The construction of high-quality colloidal photonic crystals (CPCs) for optoelectronics, energy and biological applications, featuring the viable and effective self-driven assembly route, still remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the efficient self-assembly of hydrophobic fluorine-containing poly(trifluoroethyl methacrylate) (PTFEMA) CPCs via hydrophobic force for heterogeneous aggregated cluster encoding and photoluminescence enhancement of liquid crystal display (LCD). The CPC films with periodic arranged structure self-assembled through the hydrophobic terminals (-CF3) display tunable brilliant structural color and large-area crack-free morphology. Moreover, taking advantage of PTFEMA emulsion and superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticle suspension as two discontinuous phases, Janus microbeads are fabricated by the triphase microfluidic technology, which are subsequently constructed into heterogeneous aggregated clusters that perform multiple structural color signals for the optical encoding. Eventually, the PTFEMA CPC film serves as the photoluminescence enhanced film to significantly elevate the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of CdSe@ZnS quantum dots by ca. 11 folds in an LCD device. The novel PTFEMA CPCs may offer the alternative opportunities for optical encoding towards sensing, anticounterfeiting and information storage, as well as the energy-saving optoelectronic devices.
