• An anisotropic light emitting metallomesogen (PtM) consisting of a cyclometalated platinum(II)–terpyridine (Pt(II)–tpy) chromophore and a flexible dendron is newly synthesized as a thermal‐induced and polarization‐induced solid‐state luminescence switching material. The self‐assembled PtM is uniaxially aligned by mechanical shearing within the mesophase resulting in high optical anisotropy with chromophores. The shear‐induced metastable PtM crystal exhibits emission change depending on the polarization direction and thermally triggered reversible emission quenching‐recovery characteristic. In order to precisely control the optical feature of the PtM, the self‐assembled supramolecular structure and thermal‐sensitive photophysical properties are characterized. Based on the multiresponsive luminescence switching system of PtM, a multiplexed optical code is encrypted with a simple coating and its feasibility for optical anticounterfeiting applications is demonstrated. The Pt(II)‐based metallomesogen shows the ability to on–off switch of luminescence in response to external stimuli. The metallomesogen is applied to patterned smart glass capable of selective sign indicators as well as anticounterfeiting optical security filters.
