Abstract
Disclosed is 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, wherein the shape of each pixel defined by the color selecting members and the light blocking member is a parallelogram with all four angles other than 90.degree.. Accordingly, the liquid-crystal color display of the invention is capable of displaying sloping letters such as italics and other sloping patterns as naturally sloping patterns easy to recognize.
