Novel Flexible Reflex Displays

We report on unique flexible Reflex (TM) displays based on bistable, reflective, cholesteric liquid crystal display technology. Reflex displays are attractive for numerous applications because of the low power consumption and paper like reflective color. As the possible applications grow for flexible, reflective displays the new methods to manufacture these displays, such as web processing, also become important. We will report on several unique display types such as a pressure induced writing display and a switchable color electronic skin display. In addition, the current status of traditional Reflex displays will be discussed.
