Abstract
The present invention is to provide a method for tuning photonic crystal. The photonic crystal has a plurality of voids and is immersed in a predetermined liquid. The predetermined liquid has a refractive index. The method for tuning photonic crystal is used to control the liquid-solid affinity for adjusting the volume of the voids occupied by the predetermined liquid. An equivalent refractive index of the voids can be changed to adjust the reflection spectrum of the photonic crystal. The reflective color of the photonic crystal can be dynamically tuned.
