Abstract
Corner cubes are well known retro-reflective devices. Corner cubes may be employed for high brightness in reflective image displays. An embodiment of a reflective image display is disclosed that employs corner cubes with metallized surfaces. Light reflection and absorption may be modulated with electrophoretically mobile light absorbing particles or electrofluidic systems. Display images may be created to convey information to a viewer.
