Transflective displays are ideal for portable applications used in both bright sunlight and darkened rooms. Display bistability is also advantageous for ensuring low power consumption, but the choice for transflective geometries is then severely limited. Grating‐aligned Zenithal Bistable Devices ZBD™ are readily fabricated in either single polariser reflective or transflective modes using a number of different device geometries. Both retardation and polarisation rotation modes are reported.
