Color display apparatus

摘要

A color image display apparatus includes: an image recording medium comprising a recording layer capable of selectively forming a light-scattering state and a transparent state, and a color filter having a pattern of plural color segments operatively associated with the recording layer, a light source, a viewing position, and display means for selectively sending to the viewing position a colored optical image composed of scattered light having passed through the recording layer. The display means may include direction means for directing light from the light source to be incident to the recording layer in a direction not normal to the recording layer.
