In this paper, we report the resettable functionality of helix pitch length in the mixture composed of cholesteric liquid crystal and self-assembly dendrimer with lysine groups. Cholesteric-phase liquid crystal was obtained by doping a tiny amount of dendrimer less than 0.01 wt% concentration. The mixture showed not only thermal stability of helix pitch length but also resettability of that by temperature control process based on sol-gel transition characteristics in the dendrimer with lysine group. We discuss the temperature effect of the proposed cholesteric liquid crystal on such unique functionality.
