Some cholesteric liquid crystals which change their color according to temperature are used to show temperature distribution on a heat conductive surface qualitatively. This study shows a regressive expression, which includes the effects of temperature gradient and measuring angle, for the calibration of the intensity of liquid crystal. Estimated temperatures can be linearly compensated by the temperature gradient of the calibrated plate, to within 0.2°C. The absolute value of the difference between the estimated and real temperature increased with the measuring angle.
