The objective of the present invention is to provide a 
liquid crystal display device for displaying colors by transmission and reflection 
modes and a method for producing such devices, whereby the 
additive color mixing can be used, the structure is simplified, the driving-
voltage is lower, the contrast is higher, the response speed is higher, and the screen can be larger. This objective can be achieved by a method including the following steps: mixing 0.001 to 20 wt % of dichromatic melanotic 
pigment into 
chiral nematic liquid crystal mixed with chiral 
dopant; preparing a mixture of the 
liquid crystal and 
prepolymer to be polymerized into transparent polymeric 
solid; inserting the mixture into the space between two conductive substrates, wherein at least one of which is transparent; and irradiating ultra-
violet light or neighboring short-
wavelength light onto the mixture. This process creates an accumulation of small packets composed of the 
liquid crystal packed with a thin film of the transparent polymeric 
solid within a light-controlling layer between the two conductive substrates. When no 
voltage is applied, the 
pigment molecules absorb light because they are distributed within the space with their longitudinal axis randomly directed. When a 
voltage is applied, elongated liquid 
crystal molecules are oriented perpendicular to the substrates, and the 
pigment molecules are also oriented in a similar manner. In this state, the black color of the pigment molecules does not appear, so that light is allowed to pass therethrough.
