Abstract

PURPOSE:To change display colors of a pattern on a character, graph, etc., not through the switching of background illumination light, but through an electronic circuit by turning on and off a voltage applied to a transparent electrode. CONSTITUTION:While no voltage is applied between top and reverse transparent electrodes 16 and 17 provided with the 2nd liquid crystal inbetween, the 2nd liquid crystal 15 has a direction of polarization rotated by 90 deg., so the transmitted light of a polarizing plate 5 has a red spectrum, but once a voltage is applied, the direction of polarization is retained when light is transmitted, so the light has a green spectrum. The 1st liquid crystal plate 4 of the 1st liquid crystal 1 has an axis of polarization in an (x) direction, so the light transmitted through it is cut off by the polarizing plate 4 when no voltage is applied between top and reverse transparent electrodes 2 and 3, or when the voltage is applied, the light is transmitted and observed by an observer. A pattern of a character, graph, etc., is formed on the top or reverse transparent electrode 2 or 3 of the 1st liquid crystal 1 and the top or reverse transparent electrode 16 or 17 of the 2nd liquid crystal 15 is formed over the entire area including the pattern of the character, graph, etc. Then, the display colors of the pattern are changed by a color changing switch circuit 19 while the pattern is turned on or off through the switching of a switch circuit 7.

Next, the operation of the liquid crystal display device with the above configuration will be explained. First, the liquid crystal (11) has the property of rotating the polarization direction of incident light by 90 degrees when no voltage is applied, and transmitting the incident light while preserving the polarization direction when a voltage exceeding a threshold is applied. Therefore, m light directions of the incident light are selected by the surface polarizing plate (51) and made incident on the liquid crystal (11), and the light transmitted through the liquid crystal (1) is further passed through the polarizing plate (4).
), the transmitted light 1 changes depending on the presence or absence of a voltage applied to the liquid crystal (1)K. Therefore, at least one of the transparent electrode (2) on the front side and the transparent electrode (3) on the IIk side is formed into a pattern such as a character 2 figure, and the voltage applied thereto is switched by a switch circuit (7).
) to display a pattern. now,
For example, liquid 11! The lighting element indicates values such as current value, water level, speed, etc. in the form of zero characters, bar graphs, etc., and if the indicated value is within the set value, the lighting lamp (8) lights up. If the control is to switch to the illumination lamps (5 lights) when the footfall is exceeded, will the observer be able to see that the set value has been exceeded because the background color has changed without having to read the numbers? can be recognized. In this way, by appropriately switching the background color of the display, it is possible to increase the intrinsic gA[ displayed and to quickly and reliably transmit information to the viewer.

When this light further passes through the green color polarization root, the polarized light component in the X direction is hardly absorbed and is transmitted, and the complementary color of green is absorbed in the polarized light component in the X direction. As a result, the polarized light component in the X direction of the light transmitted through the two color polarizing plates has a green spectrum, and the polarized light component in the X direction has a red spectrum. And this light is the second liquid crystal 0! lj

If not, the second liquid crystal u9 changes the polarization direction to 90
Since it is rotated by 50 degrees, the light transmitted through the polarizing plate (51) becomes light with a red spectrum.On the other hand, when one pressure is applied, the second
Since the polarization direction is preserved while the light is transmitted through the liquid crystal (5), the light transmitted through the polarizing plate (5) has a green spectrum. Moreover, in any case of tl, the polarization direction of the light is the Vix direction VC. And in the 10th) M crystal f11,
