  • Abstract
    A multilayer color display device employs two kinds of liquid-crystal films, One is a field-effect nematic liquid crystal; the other comprises a mixture of cholesteric and nematic liquid crystals that have the same function as circular polarizers used in place of crossed polarizers. Three colors (red, green, and blue) can be modulated independently by changing three voltages.
