A polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) matrix template embedded with nano/microparticles can be backfilled/infiltrated with dye doped liquid crystal, for a paper‐like reflective display. In this way, a desirable degree of diffusion can be realized to reduce a diffuse reflector's viewing angle dependency and metallic glare, without changing other electro‐optical properties.
