In a liquid crystal reflecting device comprising a cell ( 1 ) formed by two cell walls ( 3, 4 ) spaced apart by spacers ( 5 ) to contain a layer ( 2 ) of a liquid crystal material, electrode structures ( 6, 7 ) on the inner faces of the walls, and a surface alignment on one or both walls to align the liquid crystal material, a diffuse specular reflector is provided by a mirror base layer ( 21 ) formed by at least two different materials that are at least partly immiscible relative to one another forming a rough surface onto which a reflective layer ( 22 ) is coated. The mirror base layer ( 21 ) is formed by at least two different polymer and/or monomer materials that are at least partly immiscible relative to one another. The reflector layer ( 22 ) may be a single sheet, formed into a plurality of separate reflector elements, or patterned into electrodes.
