A liquid crystal color display with a color filter having plural pixels of 3 colors of red, green, and blue, plural light shutters which control a transmitting light quantity of each pixel by opening and closing a liquid crystal, and a light source; when a wavelength of the maximum green pixel transmittance of the above color filter is .lamda., an average of normalized emitting spectrum of light source (brightness when maximum value is 1), in range of .lamda..+-.3 nm, is 0.1 or higher; and a wavelength of a coinciding point, of transmittance of blue pixel whose wavelength is longer than the peak wavelength of the transmitting wavelength band of blue pixel of a color filter, and transmittance of green pixel whose wavelength is shorter than the peak wavelength of the transmitting wavelength band of green pixel of a color filter, is 500 nm or shorter.
