Abstract
Abstract A photo-conductive liquid crystal display in which the liquid crystal light valve and the electroluminescence element are disposed integrally with each other. The photo-conductive liquid crystal light valve is arranged such that a pair of transparent electrodes are disposed on the outside of a lamination of a photo-conductive layer and a liquid crystal layer, and an electroluminescence element is disposed on the outside of the transparent electrode which is disposed on the writing side of the device.
