Color filter and color filter manufacturing method

A liquid crystal display device in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed in a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a color filter;
• a counter substrate facing the color filter;
• and
• a liquid crystal sealed between the color filter and the counter substrate, wherein
• the color filter comprises:
• a substrate;
• a light-shielding layer formed on the substrate, for dividing the substrate into rectangular display regions in which the plurality of pixels are arrayed, and non-display regions surrounding the display region;
• a stripe pattern comprising a plurality of colored layers extending in the first direction, each of the colored layers linearly extending in the first direction and intersecting with a pair of sides of the display region in the second direction, in which the thicknesses of both end portions in the first direction of each colored layer disposed on the non-display region are not uniform, and a portion of the stripe pattern in which the thickness of one of the both end portions in the first direction is not uniform has a length along the first direction equal to or larger than 300 μm;
• a plurality of columnar spacers disposed in the display regions;
• and
• a plurality of dummy columnar spacers disposed in portions of the non-display regions, where the colored layers are absent,
• wherein end portions, of the plurality of columnar spacers and the plurality of dummy columnar spacers, that are farther away from the substrate are each coplanar with each other on a plane parallel to the substrate.
