Patent ID: 7952659

Claim:
A color filter, comprising: a transparent support; a first color layer formed on the transparent support, in a plan view, the first color layer having stripe-shaped first color pixel formation sections, second color pixel windows, and third color pixel windows, which are arranged at predetermined intervals, respectively; a second color layer formed to overlap with the first color layer, in the plan view, the second color layer having stripe-shaped second color pixel formation sections, first color pixel windows, and third color pixel windows, which are arranged at predetermined intervals, respectively; and, in the plan view, a third color layer having island-shaped third color pixel formation sections apart from each other, wherein the first color pixel formation sections of the first color layer are overlapped with the first color pixel windows of the second color layer, thereby defining first color pixels, and the second color pixel formation sections of the second color layer are overlapped with the second color pixel windows of the first color layer, thereby defining second color pixels, wherein the third color pixel formation sections of the third color layer are arranged in the third color pixel windows of the first color layer and the third color pixel windows of the second color layer, the third color pixel windows of the first color layer being overlapped with the third color pixel windows of the second color layer, thereby defining third color pixels, and wherein overlapped parts of the first color layer and the second color layer function as light-shielding sections.
