Morphology
The phrase is compositional: 'field-sequential' literally signals that color information is presented sequentially by fields, and combined with 'color TV' denotes a type of television. A B1 learner who knows the constituent words (field, sequential, color, TV) can therefore infer the basic meaning as a color television that displays color information in sequence, even if the technical specifics remain unfamiliar.
Etymology
Field-sequential color TV comes from how the picture was made: each field showed one color, red, green or blue, sequentially, so your eye 'blended' them into a full-color image. So, the name means an early type of TV that made color by showing the colors 'one after another'.
