Abstract
Abstract Top coat (4, 6) for a color filter (3) which is hard enough to resist the pressure of spacers (13) and whose edges (6) are slanted in such a way that a satisfactory step coverage is possible, formed by means of a flexographic pressing method, is a cured acrylic resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
A device comprising a substrate provided with a color filter, at least part of the surface of which filter is provided with a top coating, said top coating comprising a cured acrylic resin and having a thickness which gradually decreased outwardly from said filter from the area of an edge of said filter.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
53 words
A device comprising a substrate provided with a color filter, at least part of the surface of which filter is provided with a top coating, said top coating comprising a cured acrylic resin and having a thickness which gradually decreased outwardly from said filter from the area of an edge of said filter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
74 words
An electro-optical device comprising a substrate provided with a color filter, at least part of the surface of which filter is provided with a top coating, said top coating comprising a cured acrylic resin and having a thickness which gradually decreases outwardly from said filter from the area of an edge of said filter and said device comprising a display medium provided between two supporting plates, one of said supporting plates being said substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
An electro-optical device comprising a substrate provided with a color filter, at least part of the surface of which filter is provided with a top coating, said top coating comprising a cured acrylic resin and having a thickness which gradually decreases outwardly from said filter from the area of an edge of said filter and said device comprising a display medium provided between two supporting plates, one of said supporting plates being said substrate.
