Abstract

A reflection type color liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal cell controlled by a new field sequential method and a reflection device disposed at the rear surface of the cell. The device includes a band-like reflection sheet having reflection regions for reflecting the three-color lights of yellow, magenta and cyan. The reflection sheet is driven by a driving device, whereby the reflection regions are sequentially moved to the reverse side of the liquid crystal cell. In synchronism with the color changes of these reflection regions, the liquid crystal cell is controlled so that its light transmittance may be controlled in the way of color filters controlling the three picture elements of yellow, magenta, and cyan, simultaneously and time-sequentially three times. As a result of this 3-time time-sequential display, the desired color is displayed by the additive color process.
