Abstract
Cholesteric liquid crystals (ChLCs) exhibit two stable states at zero field condition - the reflecting planar state and the nonreflecting focal conic state. ChLCs are an excellent candidate for inexpensive and rugged electronic books and papers. This paper will review the display cell structure, materials and drive schemes for flexible bistable cholesteric (Ch) reflective displays.
