A Color LCD is a descendant of the primative Monochrome LCD . This kind of LCD can emulate almost any real-life image compared to a monochrome LCD. HISTORY During the 1970s and early 1980s , LCD technology was not yet mature. Technologies used for portable devices made prior to the 1990s to use color graphics include tabletop video games that use Vacuum Fluorescent Display s and also, before modern laptop computers that used color graphics, the so-called luggable computer, Commodore SX-64 used color graphics on a mini- CRT . The Commodore SX-64 was however bulky hence the aforementioned term luggable. Months after the release of the Nintendo Game Boy which had crude monochrome graphics on an LCD without backlight, Atari and Epyx released the Atari Lynx , which was the first Handheld Game Console with interchangeable cartridges to have a backlit color LCD. Subsequent to the Lynx's release, the Sega Game Gear which also had a backlit color LCD was released. However, the Atari Lynx didn't have familiar titles like the Game Gear, and advertisements for the Game Gear claimed "Nintendo dosen't do what Sega does" hence the color graphics on the Game Gear. People however thought that those ads were offensive even though the Game Boy had crude monochrome graphics. Game consoles with color LCDs would not have critical success until the rise of the Game Boy Color . TECHNIQUES FOR COLOR GRAPHICS
