Abstract: The invention provides a novel color filter used for an image pickup device for a color TV receiver and a method for manufacturing the color filter. More particularly, transparent layers to adhere color pattern layers to each other are not formed below second and third color pattern layers. Meanwhile, the surfaces of the precolored resin layers are exposed to a plasma atmosphere so that surfaces of color pattern layers are polymerized to form intermediate polymerized layers to separate the precolored resin layers. Therefore, blurs are eliminated from the second and third color pattern layers. Further, adhesion of the precolored resin layers is great.

Abstract: Hydrophobic substances, particularly hydrophobic additive for photographic layers such as couplers may be dispersed in an aqueous medium in a two--or more--stage process using an oil-former. In a main dispersion stage the total quantity of the hydrophobic substance is dispersed in the aqueous medium without oil-former or with only part of the total quantity of oil-former. The residual portion of oil-former is dispersed in the aqueous medium without hydrophobic substance in at least one further dispersion stage preceding or following the main dispersion stage. The oil-former used is preferably a compound or a mixture of compounds selected from triaryl phosphates, dialkyl phthalates, monoesters of .alpha.-substituted succinic acid or of hydrogenated phthalic acids and aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols of at least 10 carbon atoms. The process yields dispersions of improved stability of digestion.
