We present a flexible touch‐sensitive writing tablet utilizing a reflective bistable cholesteric liquid crystal laminated between two conductive‐polymer coated polyethylene‐terephthalate substrates. The device features a selective pressure response suitable for high‐resolution lines to be drawn into the screen. The device is inexpensive, conformable, and laser‐cut to any desired shape.
