Polymer dispersions, even in very low concentrations, can improve the performance of cholesteric liquid crystal materials necessary for their application in flat panel displays. Normal scattering mode, reverse scattering mode and reflective mode cholesteric liquid crystal materials are described. The roll of the polymer in each of these display modes is reviewed as are the unique electro‐optic characteristics of the dispersions.
