Novel reflective color LCDs without polarizers have been developed with using PDLCs and retro‐reflectors. By eliminating polarizers, brightness of our newly developed LCDs has been increased by 51% compared to conventional reflective LCDs, and there still is much room to be improved. What's more, our LCDs can be displayed not only bright text images but also color moving images on, since their response time and driving voltage are significantly fast (63ms) and low (5.5 volts).
