Displays can reduce power consumption in portable electronic devices.

Daniel S. Burgess

With the popularity of portable electronic devices that incorporate LCDs, researchers have been exploring ways of reducing power consumption to enable those cell phones, laptop computers and personal digital assistants to run longer on a single battery charge. Of recent interest is the bistable display, in which a voltage switches the liquid crystal between stable states with different optical properties and thus need not be applied continuously to produce a desired image, as in traditional monostable LCDs. Bistable displays, whether incorporating electrophoretic particles or cholesteric...Read full article
