Abstract
A display device includes an electronic display adapted to produce images, an electronic device that electrically communicates with the display and a zipper interconnect adapted to enable electrical connection between the display and the electronic device. The electronic display can be a reflective display such as a liquid crystal display or an emissive display such as one containing light emitting diodes. The electronic device that communicates with the display can be drive electronics adapted to electrically address the display so as to produce the images. In particular, the display is a cholesteric liquid crystal display that can be bistable and in the form of a passive matrix, active matrix or direct drive display.
