Abstract

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel having polarizers, and a back light having a light source for illumination of the liquid crystal panel which has a characteristic of spectral transmittance required to satisfy the following equation, x>y>z, when a medium tone display voltage varies in a range between a minimum and maximum voltage for a Blue pixel, where “x” is a value of the transmittance in the panel at a wavelength corresponding to a longest wavelength in a range of wavelengths designated for blue light, “y” is a value of the transmittance in the panel at a wavelength corresponding to a maximum value of the intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for green light, and “z” is a value of the transmittance in the panel at a wavelength corresponding to a maximum value of the intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for red light.

Claims (21)

1. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

a liquid crystal panel including a pair of polarizers; and

a back light having a light source provide at a back side of said liquid crystal panel for illumination thereof;

wherein said liquid crystal panel is an active matrix type liquid crystal panel enabling display in a double refraction mode, and has a characteristic of spectral transmittance required to satisfy the following equation, x>y>z, when a medium tone display voltage varies in a range between a minimum voltage and a maximum voltage for a Blue pixel, where:

“x” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a longest wavelength in a range of wavelengths designated for blue light illuminated from said light source;

“y” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a maximum value of the intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for green light illuminated from said light source; and

“z” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a maximum value of the intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for red light illuminated from said light source.

2. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

a light crystal panel including a pair of polarizers; and

a back light having a light source provided at a back side of said liquid crystal panel for illumination thereof;

wherein said liquid crystal panel is an active matrix type liquid crystal panel enabling display in a double refraction mode, and has a characteristic of spectral transmittance required to satisfy the following equation, x>y>z, when a medium tone display voltage, which varies in the range of overlapped voltages among medium tone display voltages for each pixel of Red, Green and Blue pixels, is applied from a signal line drive circuit to a signal electrode for each pixel of the Red, Green and Blue pixels, where:

“x” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a longest wavelength in a range of wavelengths designated for blue light illuminated from said light source;

“y” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a maximum value of intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for green light illuminated from said light source; and

“z” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a maximum value of intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for red illuminated from said light source.

3. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

a liquid crystal panel including a pair of polarizers; and

a back light having a light source provided at a back side of said liquid crystal panel for illumination thereof;

wherein said liquid crystal panel is an active matrix type liquid crystal panel enabling display in a double refraction mode, and has a characteristic of spectral transmittance required to satisfy the following equation, x>y>z, when a medium tone display voltage, which varies from a minimum medium tone display voltage to a maximum medium tone display voltage, is applied for each pixel of Red, Green and Blue pixels, where:

“x” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a longest wavelength in a range of wavelengths designated for blue light illuminated from said light source;

“y” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a maximum value of intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for green light illuminated from said light source; and

“z” is a value of the transmittance in said liquid crystal panel at a wavelength which corresponds to a maximum value of intensity in a range of wavelengths designated for red light illuminated from said light source.
