Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
In a color liquid crystal display device of the type which includes a pair of transparent substrates (10, 11) facing each other in parallel, a pair of transparent electrodes (12, 13) formed on the opposed inner surface sides of said transparent substrates, color filters formed (14G, 14R) on one of said transparent electrodes (13) in such a manner as to face the other of said transparent electrodes - (12) and a liquid crystal (18) interposed between said color filters (14G, 14R) and the other of said transparent electrodes (12), and in which a voltage is applied to the pair of said transparent electrodes (12, 13) and color display is effected by controlling the transmission quantity of said liquid crystal, the improvement wherein: One of said transparent electrodes (13) is disposed as display segments (a -g) at part inside the full display range (20) of said color liquid crystal display device occupied by said transparent electrodes; said display segment (a -g) consists of two sets of comb tooth-like electrodes (13R, 13G) which are controlled independently of each other and are disposed in such a manner that their comb portions are in engagement with one another; and the direction of comb teeth of said comb tooth-like electrodes of all of said display segments (a -g) are arranged in the same direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
219 words
In a color liquid crystal display device of the type which includes a pair of transparent substrates (10, 11) facing each other in parallel, a pair of transparent electrodes (12, 13) formed on the opposed inner surface sides of said transparent substrates, color filters formed (14G, 14R) on one of said transparent electrodes (13) in such a manner as to face the other of said transparent electrodes - (12) and a liquid crystal (18) interposed between said color filters (14G, 14R) and the other of said transparent electrodes (12), and in which a voltage is applied to the pair of said transparent electrodes (12, 13) and color display is effected by controlling the transmission quantity of said liquid crystal, the improvement wherein: One of said transparent electrodes (13) is disposed as display segments (a -g) at part inside the full display range (20) of said color liquid crystal display device occupied by said transparent electrodes; said display segment (a -g) consists of two sets of comb tooth-like electrodes (13R, 13G) which are controlled independently of each other and are disposed in such a manner that their comb portions are in engagement with one another; and the direction of comb teeth of said comb tooth-like electrodes of all of said display segments (a -g) are arranged in the same direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
The color liquid crystal display device as defined in claim 1 wherein said electrode (12) on the side where said display segments are not disposed is shaped in a flat plate form in conformity with the shape of the display pattern of said display segments, and said electrodes (12) on the side where said segments are not disposed are commonly wired outside said display range (20).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
131 words
The color liquid crystal display device as defined in claim 1 wherein, when a plurality of electrodes (A, B) facing one another on the side where said segments are not disposed are wired with one another in the shortest distance, the width (W A , W B ) of said electrodes (A, B) in an X direction is greater than the width (W A ', Wa') of electrodes - (A', B') on the side of said segments, which face said electrodes (A, B) in the X direction, and the length (L A , L B ) of said electrodes A, B in a Y direction crossing said X direction at right angles is smaller than the length (L A ', LB ) of said electrodes (A', B') in said Y direction.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The color liquid crystal display device as defined in claim 1 wherein two stripe-like color filter layers (14G, 14R) are alternately arranged as said color filters in the same direction as the pattern of said comb tooth-like electrodes (13G, 13R).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The color liquid crystal display device as defined in claim 4 wherein said color filters are formed in such a manner as to cover the entire surface of said display range (20).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
100 words
The color liquid crystal display device as defined in claim 4 wherein a stripe-like color filter having a color different from the colors of said two color filters is disposed separately in the proximity of said stripe-like color filters and within a display range which is not subjected to direct turn-on display control by a control electrode for controlling said comb tooth-like electrodes and a flat sheet-like electrode facing said comb tooth-like electrodes, and said separate color filter determines the backg- roud color of portions other than the portion which is directly displayed by said electrodes inside said display range.
