1. An image recording apparatus comprising:

  • a liquid crystal shutter array comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes and a shutter common electrode disposed in opposition to said pixel electrodes with a gap therebetween, a liquid crystal filling said gap, a pair of transparent substrates for supporting said pixel electrodes and said shutter common electrode by sandwiching said pixel electrodes and said shutter common electrode therebetween, and polarization plates respectively stacked on the respective outsides of said transparent substrates;

    a color liquid crystal layer stacked on said liquid crystal shutter array constituted by a first and a second common electrode disposed in opposition to each other with a gap therebetween, an ECB mode liquid crystal filling said gap between said first and second common electrodes, and a pair of transparent substrates for supporting said first and second common electrodes by sandwiching said first and second common electrodes therebetween; and

    voltage application means for applying a predetermined voltage between said first and second common electrodes of said color liquid crystal layer.
