The unique "No Power" attribute of Kent Displays ChLCD products permits image retention without any power, offering unprecedented energy savings in many applications. The bistable characteristic of this technology eliminates the need for a constant refresh of the display, enabling the design of extremely energy efficient products. Image retention without power is indefinite and there is no risk of image burn-in, ghosting, or other artifacts common with other display technologies.

The reflective nature of Kent Displays ChLCD products offers unmatched readability even in direct sunlight. With a monochromatic contrast ratio as high as 25:1 and a peak reflectivity approaching 40% of incident light, you simply will not find an LCD that performs better in direct sunlight. Seeing is believing.

Superior wide-angle viewing is accomplished by the elimination of polarizers, permitting unsurpassed readability at angles approaching the plane of the display. As illustrated by the polar graph to the right, all Kent Displays ChLCD products have a 360-degree viewing cone. Though the contrast ratio is reduced uniformly in all azimuthal directions as the viewing angle approaches the plane of the display, it is still excellent.
