A subtractive color liquid crystal display employing circular polarizers. In the subtractive color display each picture element has three liquid crystal switching elements. Adjacent to each liquid crystal switching element are a circular polarizer and 1/4 wave retarder plate combination. The circular polarizer and 1/4 wave retarder plate combination create a linear notch polarizer for an isolated and steep polarization band for each of the primary colors (red, green, blue). The notch polarizers are tuned to the particular backlight of the display in order to provide increased light transmittance and color gamut. The circular notch polarizers are preferably cholesteric liquid crystal silicones.
