Bistable reflective displays for paper-like displays

Many types of bistable reflective displays have been demonstrated so far to target the mobile application market, electronic books and paper-like displays. To ensure as a vital display technology in this market, displays with the characteristics of full color, light weight, low power consumption, high reflectivity and motion picture capability are necessary. In addition, a display technology has to have a cost-effective production method such as using roll-to-roll continuous manufacturing process. This paper will give a comparison on the emergence and evolution of bistable reflective display technologies with bistable cholesteric liquid crystal displays.
