TY - JOUR AU - Doane, J. William AB - Abstract— The first ever, reflective cholesteric liquid‐crystal displays (ChLCDs) on single textile substrates made with simple coating processes have been developed. A novel approach for fabrication of ultra‐thin encapsulated ChLCDs with transparent conducting polymers as bottom and top electrodes will be reported. These displays are fabricated from the bottom‐up by sequential coating of various functional layers on fabric materials. Encapsulation of the cholesteric liquid‐crystal droplets in a polymer matrix and the mechanical flexibility of the conducting polymers allow for the creation of durable and highly conformable textile displays. The development and status of this next‐generation display technology for both monochrome and multicolor cholesteric displays will be discussed.
