Current and future applications of reflective LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays) technology include communication, transportation, instrumentation and military equipment. Reflective liquid crystal display is a fast growing field owing to its high brightness, low power consumption and portability. The authors give an overview of state-of-the-art reflective LCD technology describing the basic operations principles for engineers. The book presents a detailed analysis of the basic operation principles of all the various mechanisms involved in reflective LCD devices; focuses on LCD materials with an extensive discussion of how they can be incorporated into the various configurations for transmissive and reflective applications; and a number of the topics covered are also applicable to all (not just reflective) LCD displays.
