Color filter and liquid crystal display provided therewith

A method for fabricating a color filter comprising:

• forming a transparent substrate layer;
• forming a wavelength converting layer on and substantially co-extensive with said transparent substrate layer, said wavelength converting layer including a single kind of material having a wavelength converting property, said wavelength converting layer being a continuous layer of material;
• forming a color filtering layer on said wavelength converting layer;
• and
• forming a flattening layer on said color filtering layer.

A method for making a color filter comprising:

• forming a light transmissive layer;
• forming a plurality of color filtering segments on a major surface of said light transmissive layer;
• forming a plurality of first and second wavelength converting segments on less than all of said color filtering segments, thus leaving a plurality of exposed color filtering segments;
• and
• forming a wavelength converting layer as a single layer of material over at least said first and second wavelength converting segments and said exposed color filtering segments,
• said first wavelength converting segments effective for producing first emergent light having a first range of wavelengths greater than a first wavelength value in response to exposure to a first portion of incident light having wavelengths less than said first wavelength value,
• said second wavelength converting segments effective for producing second emergent light having a second range of wavelengths greater than a second wavelength value in response to exposure to a second portion of said incident light having wavelengths less than said second wavelength value,
• said wavelength converting layer being a single layer of material, said wavelength converting layer effective for producing third emergent light having a third range of wavelengths greater than a third wavelength value in response to exposure to a third portion of said incident light having wavelengths less than said third wavelength value.
