Novel bistable reflective cholesteric liquid crystal display device for use with night vision goggles

Bistable reflective cholesteric liquid crystal displays (Ch- LCDs) can be modified for compatibility with various classes of NVGs (Night Vision Goggles). Stacking near-infrared reflecting displays and visible reflecting displays can produce a novel dual use display module. Due to the optical clarity of the visible display in NVIS mode, the two displays are stacked on top of each other without any visual compromise. This module has high reflectivity and contrast in both the visible, and NVIS cases. The display is also bistable, enabling a low power device. This paper describes variations in this configuration including a single cholesteric layer for both viewing conditions. Various methods of contrast optimization, and multiple color capability are also discussed. Military applications of this unique display device for cockpits and handheld devices with night vision requirements are discussed.
