An apparatus for manufacturing a color filter by coloring a color filter substrate includes a partitioning unit for partitioning the substrate into portions that are to be colored and portions that are not to be colored, a coloring unit for coloring the portions to be colored by discharging an ink onto these portions from an inkjet head, and a drying unit for drying the ink discharged by the coloring unit. All of the above units are arranged in succession as a single manufacturing line.
