Abstract Polymer cholesteric‐liquid‐crystal (PCLC) flake/fluid‐host suspensions are a novel particle display technology for full‐color reflective display applications on rigid or flexible substrates. These “polarizing pigments” require no polarizers or color filters, switch rapidly at very low voltages, and produce highly saturated colors with a reflection efficiency approaching 80%.
