Abstract
We report a single-substrate method for fabrication of reflective and bistable cholesteric liquid crystal displays on flexible substrates based on self-assembly of uniform droplets of liquid crystal in a polymer matrix to create a close-packed monolayer. The displays may be made on a large scale and exhibit switching voltages, brightness, and contrast approaching two-substrate methods such as the two-substrate polymerization-induced phase separation method.Keywords
