Abstract: The invention provides a dye-containing curable composition that has the property of high sensitivity, and that even when formed into a thin film at high dye concentration, excels in patternability, and is free from dye elution and ensures high productivity; and a color filter making use of the dye-containing curable composition and a method for producing the same. The dye-containing curable composition contains an organic-solvent-soluble dye (A) and a curing agent (C), wherein a content of the organic-solvent-soluble dye (A) is 45% by mass or more based on a total solid content and a content of the curing agent (C) is 20% by mass to 55% by mass based on the total solid content.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a curable composition, containing a compound (A) having at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond, a photopolymerization initiator (B), a coloring agent (C), an alkali-soluble resin (D), and a compound (E) having in the molecule a partial structure of urethane, amide or urea.
