Color filter, display device and electronic equipment, manufacturing method thereof, and apparatus for manufacturing display device
In a manufacturing method of a color filter for display devices having a plurality of pixels on a substrate, each pixel includes a reflective layer and a color layer, the method of manufacture includes forming partitions which separate each pixel area from the other pixel areas to comprise the pixel in each pixel area; forming the reflective layer by discharging a first liquid material into each of the pixel areas by a droplet discharge method; and forming the color layer within each of the pixel areas. By this method, color filters can be manufactured without requiring photolithography or other complicated processes, in a short time, using little energy, and at low cost.
