Paper Abstract
We developed a novel technology for the fabrication of reflective cholesteric liquid crystal displays coatable on a single
substrate using a layer-by-layer approach. Encapsulated cholesteric liquid crystals serving as an electro-optical layer and
transparent conducting polymer films serving as electrodes are coated and printed on a variety of unconventional
substrates, including ultra-thin plastic, paper, and textile materials to create conformable displays. The displays are
capable of offering excellent electro-optical properties of the bulk cholesteric liquid crystals, including full-color, IR
capability, bistability, low power, high brightness and contrast, combined with the ruggedness and pressure insensitivity
of the liquid crystal droplets embedded in a polymer matrix. Durability of encapsulated cholesteric liquid crystals and
single substrate approach allows for display flexing, folding, rolling and draping during image addressing without any
image distortion. Our single substrate approach with natural cell-gap control significantly simplifies the fabrication
process of the LCDs especially for large area displays. This paper will discuss the development, status, and merits of
this novel display technology.
