  • Patent number: 7704650
    Abstract: A donor sheet for transferring an image pattern to an image receiving element by a thermal imaging process using laser beam, comprising a base having formed in order on the base a light-to-heat conversion layer, and a transfer layer containing an image component which is melted by heating due to an action of the light-to-heat conversion layer and transferred to the image receiving element in a patterned form, in which the image component of the transfer layer contains an ink-repellent or solvent-repellent compound in an optimized amount. Using the donor sheet, it becomes possible to produce an separation member such as partition pattern and black matrix of a color filter by a shortened manufacturing step with ease and accuracy at high contrast, and can impart excellent ink repellency to the separation member.

  • Patent number: 7704683
    Abstract: The invention provides a process for producing at least one optical filter layer segment on a substrate. The process includes applying a masking comprising a resist layer on a surface of the substrate, depositing an optical filter layer on the surface and the resist layer by vacuum deposition, and removing the resist layer with a portion of the optical filter layer thereon from the surface. The deposition of the optical filter layer, at least at times, takes place at a temperature of over 150° C., preferably in a range from over 150° C. up to and including 400° C.

  • Patent number: 7695873
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a color filter is disclosed. It mainly uses an exposure apparatus which can produce a plurality of exposure light sources to do an exposure process. Through fast controlling the on/off time of the plurality of exposure light sources as well as making a relative moving between the plurality of exposure light sources and a substrate plane, a color photoresist layer on the substrate plane can be exposed to form a pattern thereon, wherein the on/off time of the exposure light sources are respectively controlled by a plurality of shutters of the exposure apparatus. Then, with a developing process to the exposed color photoresist layer, a color layer is formed on the substrate plane. The main advantage of the invention is that photo-mask is not needed in the exposure process and any size substrate plane can be handled by the present exposure apparatus.
