Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing a color display comprising the following steps: (a) preparing an uncolored base plate comprising a base plate, an electroconductive layer formed on said base plate and a photosensitive resin layer formed thereon, said photosensitive resin layer being patterned by exposing to light through a mask and developing it to let a portion of the electroconductive layer to be colored appear, (b) forming a color layer by electrodeposition on the portion of the electroconductive layer to be colored, (c) transferring the color layer onto a transfer plate, and (d) further transferring and fixing the color layer onto a transparent substrate from the transfer plate, wherein if the color display is colored with more than one color, the processes (a) to (d) are repeated for the other colors, but once said uncolored base plate is formed, the processes (b) to (d) are repeated.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the base plate is made from glass or plastic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the electroconductive layer is formed from copper, silver, indium tin oxide, gold, platinum or nickel.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the photosensitive resin layer is negative or positive type.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the transferring step (c) is carried out by contacted the surface of the color layer with the surface of the transfer plate and pressing by a rubber plate or a rubber covered roller.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein the transfer plate is a polyethylene terephthalate film, a cellulose triacetate film, a polystyrene film, a polycarbonate film or a polymer-laminated paper or glass.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
