ABSTRACT:
A variable color filter comprising a plurality of differently colored diochroic polarizers, an equal number of voltage responsive twisted nematic liquid crystal cells, and a plane polarizer all arranged along an optical path in a predetermined manner to modify the spectral content of visible light incident to the filter so that the filter transmits any one of a predetermined number of colors whose saturation and hue are related to the voltages applied to the liquid crystal cells.
