Progress in flexible and drapable reflective cholesteric displays

Recent results from encapsulation work on the development of flexible and drapable cholesteric liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) on substrates such as thin plastics, fabrics, and even paper will be presented. The approaches used to create flexible displays using single- and dual-substrate methods based on printable emulsions and polymerization-induced phase-separation (PIPS) techniques will be discussed.
