Patent ID: 7361248

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a color display device, the method comprising: providing on a substrate, a plurality of switching elements, a data line for supplying a data signal to a corresponding switching element among said plurality of switching elements, a selection line for supplying a selection signal to said corresponding switching element, a pixel electrode directly or indirectly connected to said corresponding switching element, and a color filter formed under said pixel electrode; forming said selection line, said switching element, and said data line on said substrate, and then forming a protective insulating layer at least covering each said data line extending in a column direction and protruding from said substrate as a rib; affixing a color filter layer on a transfer film onto said substrate through pressure applied by a pressing mechanism; and moving the pressing mechanism in a direction in which said protective insulating layer extends, thereby transferring said color filter layer to be embedded into a corresponding display space for a pixel with said protective insulating layer on said substrate serving as a sidewall of a passage for expelling ambient gas in the column direction during transfer of the color filter.
