Abstract

The present invention provides a color filter substrate manufacturing method which can prevent the occurrence of color mixing between adjacent pixels despite of the use of an inkjet method, and which are unlikely to cause flicker when used for displays such as televisions. The prevent invention is a color filter substrate manufacturing method including: a first inkjet step of applying inks simultaneously to at least two of a plurality of regions separated by a grid-shaped partition; and a second inkjet step of applying an ink to at least one of regions to which the inks are not applied in the first inkjet step, wherein at least one of inks applied in the first inkjet step is a first ink that is applied to a first target region without applying inks to regions vertically and horizontally adjacent to the first target region, and at least one of the other inks applied in the first inkjet step is a second ink that is applied to a second target region while another ink is applied to one of regions vertically and horizontally adjacent to the second target region.

Claims (29)

1. A color filter substrate manufacturing method comprising:

a first inkjet step of applying inks simultaneously to at least two of a plurality of regions separated by a grid-shaped partition; and

a second inkjet step of applying an ink to at least one of regions to which the inks are not applied in the first inkjet step,

wherein at least one of inks applied in the first inkjet step is a first ink that is applied to a first target region without applying inks to regions vertically and horizontally adjacent to the first target region, and

at least one of the other inks applied in the first inkjet step is a second ink that is applied to a second target region while another ink is applied to one of regions vertically and horizontally adjacent to the second target region.

2. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 1 comprising, between the first inkjet step and the second inkjet step, a pre-baking step for drying the inks applied in the first inkjet step.

3. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 1 comprising, between the first inkjet step and the second inkjet step, a liquid repelling step of liquid repelling treatment to a surface of the partition surrounding the inks applied in the first inkjet step.

4. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein color filters are produced in the first inkjet step and the second inkjet step such that pixel units each consisting of color filters of a plurality of colors are repeatedly arranged.

5. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 4 ,

wherein color filters are produced in the first inkjet step such that vertically adjacent pixel units and/or horizontally adjacent pixel units have alternating color arrangement patterns.

6. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 4 ,

wherein the first ink has a color with the lowest transmissivity among the plurality of colors.

7. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 6 ,

wherein each of the pixel units consists of a combination of a red picture element, a green picture element, and a blue picture element, and

the first ink is a blue ink.

8. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 6 ,

wherein each of the pixel units consists of a combination of a red picture element, a green picture element, a blue picture element, and a yellow picture element, and

the first ink is a blue ink.

9. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first ink and the second ink are applied in such a manner as to produce color filters in the same pixel.

10. The color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first ink and the second ink are applied in such a manner as to produce color filters in different pixels, respectively.

11. A display device manufacturing method comprising the color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 1 .

12. The display device manufacturing method according to claim 11 ,

wherein the display device comprises a plurality of pixel electrodes and a common electrode, and

for each pair of adjacent pixel electrodes among the plurality of pixel electrodes, the pixel electrodes have a potential with an opposite polarity based on a potential of the common electrode.

13. A color filter substrate manufactured by the color filter substrate manufacturing method according to claim 1 .

14. A display device comprising the color filter substrate according to claim 13 .
