white display and the states of the respective display layers table 2 relates to an example of green display and shows kinds of pulse voltages applied to the respective display layers for color display and the states of the respective display layers fig1 shows spectral reflection characteristics in the case where the full color liquid crystal display performs the white display i e in the case where the white display layer is in the light scattering state and the red green and blue display layers are in the selective reflection state as shown in fig1 the spectral reflection characteristics are flat and do not have a peak value a good white appearance can be achieved even when the display is viewed obliquely it is considered that the fact that the white display layer itself has the flat spectral reflection characteristics without a peak value as described in connection with fig1 contributes to this good appearance as can be seen from comparison between fig1 and 15 the full color liquid crystal display of this experimental example has a high reflectance and can perform monochrome display with a high contrast according to the specific measurement the contrast of about 3 1 was obtained from the structure in which the white display layer was arranged on the light absorbing member but the contrast.
