Voltages are applied to a pixel electrode and a common electrode in the liquid crystal display respectively, a electric field formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode controls liquid crystal molecules to rotate and the liquid crystal molecules modulate backlights transmitted, so that the backlight is enabled to irradiate to a color film layer, which has different light intensity transmittances for different spectral bands, in different light intensities, and finally the light of the required color is presented. The voltages are applied to an anode (i.e., the pixel electrode) and a cathode (i.e., the common electrode) in the organic electroluminescent display respectively, cavities generated at the anode and electrons generated at the cathode compose excitons at a light-emitting layer, energies of the excitons are transferred to light-emitting molecules in the light-emitting layer, so that the electrons in the light-emitting molecules emit light due to a radiative recombination.
