Abstract

A method for manufacturing a color filter includes the steps of: forming an organic black photoresist layer ( 304 ) on a transparent substrate ( 300 ); exposing the organic black photoresist layer using a photo-mask; developing the organic black photoresist layer to form an organic black matrix ( 3041 ) on the transparent substrate; forming a positive photoresist layer ( 306 ) on the transparent substrate thereby covering the organic black matrix with the positive photoresist layer; irradiating a surface of the transparent substrate facing away from the positive photoresist layer so as to expose the positive photoresist layer; developing the positive photoresist layer to form a plurality of banks ( 3061 ) on the organic black matrix; injecting ink into spaces defined by the banks and the organic black matrix using an ink-jet device; and solidifying the ink.

Claims (17)

1. A method for manufacturing a color filter, comprising the steps of:

defining a plurality of grooves in a surface of a transparent substrate;

applying a black organic material into the plurality of grooves to form an organic black matrix;

forming a positive photoresist layer on the transparent substrate thereby covering the organic black matrix with the positive photoresist layer;

irradiating a surface of the transparent substrate facing away from the positive photoresist layer so as to expose the positive photoresist layer;

developing the positive photoresist layer to form a plurality of banks on the organic black matrix;

injecting ink into spaces defined by the banks and the organic black matrix using an ink-jet device; and

solidifying the ink.

2. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are defined by using a process chosen from the group consisting of a laser process, a sand blasting process, and an etching process using a photo-mask.

3. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the grooves are defined by a laser process or a sand blasting process using an accurate positioning mechanism.

4. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the ink-jet device is a thermal bubble ink-jet device or a piezoelectrical ink-jet device.

5. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the ink is solidified by a heating device.

6. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the ink is solidified by a heating device and a vacuum-pumping device.

7. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the ink is solidified by a light-emitting device.

8. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the transparent substrate is a glass substrate.

9. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the organic material is a resin-based composition containing carbon black.

10. The method for manufacturing the color filter of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the transparent substrate facing away from the positive photoresist layer is irradiated by an ultraviolet light-emitting device.
