Very fine molecular arrangement of cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC), can be compressed by applying an external electric field in the liquid crystal cell geometry. This enables very fine tuning of the wavelength of the reflected light. The compression of the periodic dielectric molecular arrangement continues till the chiral energy density meets its repulsive-type excluded volume interaction and hence the corresponding resonant wavelength jumps back to the original spectral position.
