A conventional bistable cholesteric liquid crystal microcapsule cell has had insufficient image stability for high‐temperature storage due to its anchoring instability. In this report, a novel anchoring stabilization method using nano‐particles deposited on the shell is proposed. This method enables high anchoring stability up to a storage temperature of just 10°C below the clearing point.
