CHOLESTERIC LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE WITH NON- UNIFORMLY REFLECTING LAYER

摘要

A cholesteric liquid crystal display device (10) comprises a layer of cholesteric liquid crystal material (11) supported by at least one substrate (13; electrode layers (14,15) on opposite sides of the layer of cholesteric liquid crystal material (11); and a light absorptive or reflective layer (17) on the rear side of the layer of cholesteric liquid crystal material (11). To provide non- uniform reflection of light, there is a layer (18) of reflective flakes (19) on the front side of the light absorptive or reflective layer (17), or the reflective layer is shaped to be non-planar.
