Abstract:
1. A color filter manufacturing method comprising: discharging droplets of an ink from a droplet discharge head into a plurality of cells formed on a substrate while selectively moving the substrate with respect to the droplet discharge head in one of a first direction and a second direction opposite from the first direction; and curing the ink discharged in the cells to form a colored portion within each of the cells, the discharging of the droplets including selectively prohibiting landing of the droplets in only one of first and second landing prohibition regions formed at a predetermined width from first and second edges respectively of each of the cells, with each of the first and second landing prohibition regions being arranged so that a relationship 0.5≦L the selectively prohibiting landing of the droplets includes selectively prohibiting landing of the droplets in the one of the first and second landing prohibition region that is on the trailing edge side.
