Structure of Color Filter

[0059]The structure of the color filter according to the present invention will first be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the configuration of the color filter. FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the structure of the color filter.

[0060]The color filter 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is used in a color display panel, and has colored parts 2 that are formed so as to correspond to pixels of each color that include R (red), G (green), and B (blue) in the display panel; and light-blocking parts 3 that are formed in the regions between the colored parts 2. The colored parts 2 in the present embodiment have an arrangement and shape that correspond to a so-called striped pixel structure, but a different pixel structure may also be used. For example, a configuration may be adopted that is adapted to a structure that includes a color element other than R, G, and B, or to a delta structure.

[0061]The color filter 1 is provided with a glass

[0112]Modification Example 1 will next be described with reference to FIGS. 10, 13A, 15, and 16, with emphasis on the differences between Modification Example 1 and the previously described embodiment.

[0113]FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the conditions for selecting deleted dots according to Modification Example 1. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the second dot pattern according to Modification Example 1.

[0114]In Modification Example 1, deleted dots are selected in step S15 based on the conditions shown in FIG. 15. Specifically, dots that correspond to nozzles other than the nozzle that corresponds to the dots already targeted for deletion in step S115 are selected by the first condition. By setting such a condition, since dots corresponding to each of the nozzles are deleted in substantially uniform ratios, the usage frequency of the nozzles with respect to a single partitioned region 6 is appropriately distributed. This configuration makes it possible to prevent fluctuation

[0116]Modification Example 2 will next be described with reference to FIGS. 10, 13A, 17, and 18, with emphasis on the differences between Modification Example 2 and the previously described embodiment.

[0117]FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the conditions for selecting deleted dots according to Modification Example 2. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the second dot pattern according to Modification Example 2.

[0118]In Modification Example 2, deleted dots are selected in step S15 based on the conditions shown in FIG. 17. Specifically, dots that correspond to nozzles other than the nozzle that corresponds to the dots already targeted for deletion in step S15 are selected by the first condition, and dots of the third scan are selected by the second condition. By setting such conditions, dots corresponding to each of the nozzles are deleted in substantially uniform ratios, the usage frequency of the nozzles is appropriately distributed, the amount of the liquid material arranged in the
