Abstract
A method of manufacturing a color filter comprises forming first transparent electrodes on a substrate. Colored layers are then formed on the first transparent electrodes followed by second transparent electrodes being formed over the colored layers. Thereafter, predetermined portions of the colored layers and the second transparent electrodes are removed by, for example, a laser such that gaps exist between the colored layers. Finally, a light shielding film is formed in a lattice pattern over the second transparent electrodes and in the gaps between the colored layers. By removing selected portions of the colored layers and the second transparent electrodes prior to forming the light shielding film, a color filter is provided with a lattice-shaped light shielding film which can be used in color liquid crystal display devices employing thin film transistors.
