  • Patent number: 5917566
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a color filter which includes arranging an electroconductor and a transparent substrate carrying an electroconductive transparent thin layer in an electrodeposition bath so that the electroconductor and the substrate are disposed in spaced and parallel relationship and that a baffle is disposed between the thus arranged electroconductor and the substrate, and carrying out electrodeposition in the electrodeposition bath by using the electroconductive transparent thin layer as one electrode and the electroconductor as a counter electrode permits the production of a desired color filter having superior layer flatness, even when the substrate enlarged in the size is used.

  • Patent number: 5633104
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a color filter which comprises holding an electroconductor and a tetragonal substrate having an electroconductive transparent thin layer on its surface in an electrodeposition bath in such a way that they are spaced apart and in parallel to each other, the substrate being suspended in an inclined state in a manner such that one of the apexes of the tetragonal substrate is located lower than any of its other apexes; carrying out electrodeposition in the electrodeposition bath; and removing the electrodeposited substrate from the electrodeposition bath while maintaining the inclined state; and which permits prompt removal of the bath adhering to the electrodeposited substrate to improve productivity.
