The multi-colour liquid crystal display device ( 1 ) of the present invention has a plurality of discrete liquid crystal elements ( 110, 130, 150 ) that are carried by a surface of a carrier ( 10 ). The liquid crystal elements ( 110, 130, 150 ), which cover respective parts of the electrode structure ( 12 ), each have a polymer layer ( 114, 134, 154 ), which encloses a cholesteric liquid crystal material ( 102, 122, 142 ) between the polymer layer and the surface of the carrier ( 10 ). The discrete liquid crystal elements ( 110, 130, 150 ) have been formed by the individual deposition of discrete droplets of a liquid comprising the various cholesteric liquid crystal materials ( 102, 122, 142 ) and a polymer precursor followed by exposure of the droplets to a stimulus triggering the polymerization of the polymer precursor.
