Abstract: The present invention relates to electro-optical switching elements and displays comprising them. In particular, it relates to electro-optical switching elements comprising at least a light reflecting layer, a light switching layer, and a light conversion layer, which comprises one or more light emitting substances, in particular, a light reflecting layer, which selectively reflects visible light, a light controlling element that controls the amount of transmitted and/or reflected light, and a light converting layer that shifts the wavelength of the transmitted light to longer values. The displays give bright images under either bright or dark conditions with small power consumption. They are particularly suitable for so called liquid crystal, electronic paper (e-paper) and MEMS switching applications.
