Patent ID: 8139182

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 and second-and-third color pixel windows, which are arranged at predetermined intervals along a first direction, respectively; a second color layer formed to overlap with the first color layer, in a plan view, the second color layer having stripe-shaped second color pixel formation sections and first-and-third color pixel windows, which are arranged at predetermined intervals along the first direction, respectively; and in a plan view, a third color layer having island-shaped third color pixel formation sections apart from each other, wherein the second color pixel formation sections of the second color layer are overlapped with second color pixel subwindows of the second-and-third color pixel windows of the first color layer, and the first-and-third color pixel windows of the second color layer are respectively overlapped with the first color pixel formation sections of the first color layer and third color pixel subwindows of the second-and-third color pixel windows thereof, wherein the third color pixel formation sections of the third color layer are respectively arranged in the third color pixel subwindows of the second-and-third color pixel windows of the first color layer and the third color pixel subwindows of the first-and-third color pixel windows of the second color layer, the third color pixel subwindows of the second-and-third color pixel windows of the first color layer being overlapped with the third color pixel subwindows of the first-and-third color pixel windows of the second color layer, wherein the first color pixel formation sections of the first color layer, which are overlapped with the first-and-third color pixel windows of the second color layer and the third color pixel formation sections of the third color layer, define first color pixels, wherein the second color pixel formation sections of the second color layer, which are overlapped with the second-and-third color pixel windows of the first color layer and the third color pixel formation sections of the third color layer, define second color pixels, wherein the third color pixel formation sections of the third color layer, which are overlapped with the second-and-third color pixel windows of the first color layer and the first-and-third color pixel windows of the second color layer, define third color pixels, wherein first light-shielding sections extending along the first direction are formed by overlapped parts of the first color and the second color layer, and wherein second light-shielding sections extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction are formed by overlapped parts of the first color layer and the second color layer, overlapped parts of the second color layer and the third color layer, and overlapped parts of the third color layer and the first color layer.
