PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable multicolor display with a simple structure having good productivity without requiring a complicated process by forming a color filter on the outer surface of a substrate and specifying the relation between the filter and the substrate. SOLUTION: An ITO transparent electrode 2, liquid crystal orienting film 3 and insulating layer 4 are formed on the surface of a transparent substrate 1 of d0 thickness. These substrates are disposed to face each other and a liquid crystal is sealed between these substrates to obtain a liquid crystal panel. A color filter layer 5 is formed on the opposite surface of the transparent substrate 1 to the electrode, and the filter layer 5 is formed in stripe shape parallel to the longitudinal direction of the electrode. In this case, the width W0 of the color filter 5 on the substrate, the effective width W1 of the electrode 2 on the same substrate 1 which transmits incident light, the thickness d0 and refractive index ns of the substrate 1 satisfy the relation of (W0 -W1 )/2>=d0 tan(sin<-1> (1/ns )). Thereby, only the light which transmits through the electrode transmits the correspondent color filter 5 so that no colors slurring is caused even when the panel is observed in an oblique direction. |
