Abstract— In this paper we determine the visual parameters required for effective, full‐color reflective displays. We analytically examine a number of contemporary liquid crystal (LC) technologies and associated optical configurations which hold promise for achieving reflective color displays. We conclude that reflective displays based on holographically formed polymer‐dispersed liquid crystals (H‐PDLCs) and polymer‐stabilized cholesteric‐texture liquid crystals (PSCT) are the most viable color‐capable reflective technologies to date.
