Bistable reflective display and methods of forming the same
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A bistable reflective display, comprising:
- first and second substrates;
a cholesteric liquid crystal material located between the first and second substrates;
silica agglomerates dispersed within the cholesteric liquid crystal material; and
a voltage source that selectively applies a voltage to the first; and
second substrates, wherein when the voltage has a first value, the bistable reflective display operates in a light scattering state and when the voltage has a second value, the bistable reflective display operates in a transparent state.

Abstract
A bistable reflective display has a stable focal conic or weakly scattering state even when an applied voltage used to transition to the focal conic state is removed. The bistable reflective display includes first and second substrates, a cholesteric liquid crystal material located between the first and second substrates and silica agglomerates dispersed within the cholesteric liquid crystal material.
