Abstract
A color filter includes a black matrix and a color section. The black matrix has a plurality of partition sections extended alongside each other with a gap region therebetween. The color section is in a gap region of the black matrix. The color section is formed by applying a film material into the gap region of the black matrix by the ink-jet method, and then curing the film material thus applied. The black matrix has a protrusion section by which the gap region is partially narrowed. In applying the film material, the protrusion section functions as a barrier against the film material flowing, in the gap region. This prevents color mixing and uneven color density while maintaining high productivity.
