Abstract
A liquid crystal apparatus includes a liquid crystal cell comprising a pair of substrates each having thereon a transparent electrode with a thickness of 840 .ANG. or less, 1320-1680 .ANG., 1960-2470 .ANG. or 3180-3850 .ANG., and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the pair of substrates in a thickness of 10 microns or less; and a fluorescent light source comprising at least two types of fluophors having different emission peak wavelengths. The liquid crystal may preferably be a ferroelectric liquid crystal having a thickness of 5 microns or less. A dielectric film of, e.g., Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 or TiO.sub.2 having a larger refractive index than the transparent electrode may be disposed.
