Polymer cholesteric liquid crystal (PCLC) flake/fluid host suspensions are a new and promising particle display technology for both full-color flexible display applications and electronic paper. Devices containing these "polarizing pigments" switch rapidly at very low voltages and produce highly saturated, circularly polarized reflectance colors without requiring polarizers or color filters.
