Abstract
In a liquid-crystal color display having a pair of light-transmitting substrates disposed opposite each other sandwiching a liquid crystal layer between them and color selecting members and a light blocking member provided on one of the pair of light-transmitting substrates, light-transmitting pixel electrodes are disposed on the liquid crystal layer side of one of the light-transmitting substrates. The pixel electrodes disposed adjacent to each other correspond to different color selecting members and are formed extending into each other's display area in alternating fashion. Accordingly, display patterns formed by adjacent pixel electrodes are allowed to overlap each other, thus making it possible to increase the number of display patterns per unit display area.
