We present a flexible touch‐sensitive writing tablet utilizing a reflective bistable cholesteric liquid crystal laminated between two conductive‐polymer coated polyethylene‐terephthalate substrates. The device features a selective pressure response suitable for high‐resolution lines to be drawn into the screen. The device is inexpensive, conformable, and laser‐cut to any desired shape.

Abstract— A high‐resolution multiple‐color and black‐on‐white surface‐stabilized reflective cholesteric liquid‐crystal display with reflectivities as high as 40% is reported. The double‐stacked 1/8‐VGA, 100‐dpi prototype shows four vivid colors with negligible parallax. The potential for eight colors and ultimately full color is demonstrated in a high‐resolution triple‐stacked prototype.

New syntheticroutes using controlled

Abstract— 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.
