Abstract:
A color filter for use in visual displays, comprising:(a) a first substrate having a repeating pattern of pixels on a surface of the first substrate, the pixels on the first substrate having a first color;(b) a second substrate combined with the first substrate, the second substrate having a repeating pattern of pixels on a surface of the second substrate, the pixels on the second substrate having a second color; and(c) a third substrate combined with the first substrate and the second substrate to form a color filter, the third substrate having a repeating pattern of pixels on a surface of the third substrate, the pixels on the third substrate having a third color;wherein each of the pixels of each of the repeating pattern of pixels comprises a plurality of discrete sub-pixels so that an omission from the surface of the first substrate, the second substrate, or the third substrate, of less than all of the plurality of sub-pixels comprising each pixel will not necessarily result in an unusable pixel.
