Abstract
An electronic viewfinder for displaying video images captured in an attached electronic camera utilizes a liquid crystal display which can be illuminated from the rear by ambient illumination or by light from an included fluorescent lamp. The liquid crystal display is positioned at a slight angle to the viewer's line of sight and light transmitted by the display is diffused thereafter to provide a high quality image.
