Display

A display device for displaying an image, the device comprising:

• a) a display cell comprising:
• a first cell wall and a second cell wall opposed to the first cell wall;
• the cell walls enclosing a layer of a display medium comprising a liquid crystal material having finely-divided pigment particles dispersed therein;
• each cell wall including an electrode for applying an electric field across the display medium;
• and
• b) an image source for directing a light image onto the display cell.

A display cell having a recorded image, the display cell comprising:

• a first cell wall;
• a second cell wall opposed to the first cell wall;
• a layer of a display medium disposed between the cell walls;
• the display medium comprising a liquid crystal material having finely-divided pigment particles dispersed therein;
• each cell wall including an electrode for applying an electric field across the display medium;
• wherein the image comprises first picture elements in which pigment particles are aggregated at the first cell wall and second picture elements where the pigment particles are substantially not present at the first cell wall, each first picture element having at least one different light-reflecting property than each second picture element.
