— Bistable reflective cholesteric liquid‐crystal displays are low‐power displays that are suitable for a variety of applications ranging from signage to high‐resolution electronic books. Recent advancements have included higher brightness, full color, black and white from a single layer, and lighting solutions. Cholesteric displays also lend themselves to simple integration into flexible materials since they may be coated and printed. We have developed reflective cholesteric displays on thin flexible plastic substrates, as well as other unconventional substrates such as paper and drapable fabrics. This paper serves as a review for recent advances in the cholesteric‐display technology at Kent Displays.
