Abstract
A color filter substrate includes a color filter layer, a light-transmissive layer and a light-shielding layer. The light-transmissive layer is disposed between pixels and includes a side surface that forms a reflection surface. The light-shielding layer is laminated on the light-transmissive layer.
Claims5
A color filter substrate comprising:
- a light-transmissive substrate including an incident surface and an outgoing surface with respect to transmitted light;
- a plurality of pixels in which a color filter layer is formed;
- a protrusion portion that is disposed between the plurality of pixels on the outgoing surface of the light-transmissive substrate and partitions the color filter layer, the protrusion portion including:
- a light-transmissive layer comprising a light transmissive material that forms a reflective side surface, the reflective side surface being formed as an inclined surface and partitioning the color filter layer into at least a first color filter having a first color and a second color filter having a second color filter, the first color filter being directly adjacent to the second color filter;
- and
- a light-shielding layer disposed such that the light-transmissive layer is disposed between the light-transmissive substrate and the light-shielding layer,
- wherein
- the light-transmissive layer is disposed between at least the first color filter and the second color filter,
- the light-transmissive layer disposed between the first color filter and the second color filter includes both a first strip-shaped light-transmissive layer and a second strip-shaped light-transmissive layer parallel to the first strip-shaped light-transmissive layer,
- the first strip-shaped light-transmissive layer has a first side surface facing the first color filter and a second side surface facing the second strip-shaped light-transmissive layer, and
- the second strip-shaped light-transmissive layer has a first side surface facing the second color filter and a second side surface facing the first strip-shaped light-transmissive layer.
