1. A liquid crystal color display device comprising:
- at least one first patterned electrodes and at least one second electrodes formed on a pair of opposed transparent substrates, respectively, for applying an electric field across a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said first and second electrodes, each of said first electrodes defining, together with a one mating second electrode, a display element operable for display in a particular color; and
a filter layer formed for each of said first electrodes on one of said substrates, said filter layer being supported by said one substrate and placed in an optical path of light having entered the display device, in which the filter layer formed for at least one of said first electrodes includes at least two kinds of plural filtering segments, a first kind of filtering segments among said at least two kinds being made of a material having optical characteristics to pass therethrough light having wavelengths representative of a first color, and a second kind of filtering segments among said at least two kinds being made of a material having optical characteristics to pass therethrough light having wavelengths representative of a second color, said at least two kinds of plural filtering segments being arranged so that the display element including said at least two kinds of plural filtering segments gives, when activated, a display in a color of a hue visually perceived different, as viewed at a distance, from those of said filtering segments.

Abstract
A liquid crystal color display device comprising at least two kinds of plural color filter members provided for patterned electrodes serving to apply an electric field across a liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween, each of the above-mentioned at least two kinds of color filter members transmitting light having wavelengths representative of a particular color, in which at least one of the color filter members is constituted by a combination of at least two kinds of filter members segmented to a degree unresolvable by the eyes specifically arranged.
