ABSTRACT:
A display system for displaying information in the viewfinder of a camera, capable of displaying a positive pattern indicating a distance measuring area and a light measuring area on a transparent background so that a photographing field can be seen through the transparent background of the pattern. The display system comprises a liquid crystal display of a guest-host type disposed near the focal plane of the optical system of the viewfinder. The liquid crystal display comprises transparent electrodes provided with a pattern indicating distance measuring areas and light measuring areas, a liquid crystal of a cholestericnematic phase transition type having a negative anisotropic dielectric property as host, and a dichroic coloring matter having an anisotropic light absorption property as guest. The pattern having a high opacity is displayed on a transparent background in the viewfinder in a satisfactory contrast to the background.
