Abstract

Abstract A color filter for use in a liquid-crystal display panel structure, including a transparent substrate having a surface portion, and a multiplicity of filter elements distributed in a predetermined pattern on the surface portion of the substrate, each of the filter elements being formed of a photosetting colored filter composition containing an acrylic resin, a coloring compound and a dispersant. In this color filter according to the present invention, the dispersant preferably includes a derivative of an organic colorant. A color filter according to the present invention may further include a transparent overcoat of a synthetic resin covering the filter elements.
