During an assessment of a non-smart digital wristwatch, you notice it uses a reflective, segmented display that shows dark characters on a light background and draws almost no power except when updating the segments. This same low-power display technology is also found in most basic pocket calculators. Which display technology is the watch using?
Reflective segmented LCDs dominate small, battery-powered devices because they consume only microwatts, work well in ambient light without a backlight, and are inexpensive to manufacture. Calculators and basic digital watches almost universally rely on this form of LCD technology. OLED, Plasma, and CRT displays all require far more power (or larger form factors) and therefore are not used in such miniature, low-cost devices.
