Zusammenfassung:Amulticolor display (300) which comprises a high contrast liquid crystal device (320), light source (314) and a luminance-balanced color mask (318). The liquid crystal device is the transmissive, twisted nematic type having high extinction ratio polarizers on the input and output sides and functions as a light shutter for the display. The liquid crystal material has a dichroic dye admixed therein to prevent build- up of the contrast limiting orthogonal mode electric vector of polarized light. The color mask contains different colored patches with gray surrounds, and the colored patches are luminance balanced in order that the different colored data displays are of substantially equal brightness. During the off-state there is no light bleed through so that the display presents a uniformly dark state or dead front.
