Abstract:
1. A field sequential color display apparatus for sequentially displaying field images corresponding to a plurality of colors to display a plurality of color frame images, wherein each of the field images is a single-color image and each of said color frame images is formed from a plurality of the field images, said field sequential color display apparatus comprising: display means for sequentially displaying the single-color field images one-by-one; display control means for controlling a display order in which the field images are displayed by the display means; pixel shifting means, including a liquid crystal cell, for shifting alternating ones of the color frame images, by shifting a beam from each pixel displayed on the display means for a shifted one of the color frame images; and optical means for transmitting to a viewer both shifted color frame images and unshifted color frame images; wherein the display control means controls display of the field images so as to minimize, to a greatest possible extent, an overlap amount of a transition period of the pixel shifting means during which the beam of said each pixel is shifted with display periods of each of the field images.
