A color image formation method is presented with thermosensitive liquid crystal polymers. The liquid crystal polymers are capable of reversibly assuming optical states of transparent and scattering lights, and allow picture-element display areas in two colors at least to be composed on a surface. The picture elements within color areas are selected if they correspond to the color which is the spectral transmission center. A heat is applied such that the maximum haze degree of the selected picture elements is greater than that of picture elements corresponding to any of the other colors.
