Abstract
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.
