Abstract: A method for making color filters containing a color matrix with at least three desired colored layers comprising the steps of: (a) forming a positive energy-accumulable photoresist layer on a transparent electrically conductive substrate; (b) pre-conditioning the energy-accumulable photoresist layer to form at least three regions of different initial levels of exposure energy, from a highest to a lowest; (c) using a developer solution to develop and remove the region of the photoresist layer with the highest level of initial exposure energy to thereby cause a corresponding area of the electrically conductive substrate underlying the photoresist to be uncovered; (d) electrodepositing a photo-curable resin of a desired color and a predetermined exposure energy required for curing onto the uncovered area of the substrate; (e) overall-exposing the photoresist layer to a light source so as to impart an incremental exposure energy to all regions of the photoresist layer; (f) using a developer solution to develop a
