A method of manufacturing a color filter having a plurality of colored
pixels on a substrate by discharging an ink from an ink-jet head having a
plurality of ink discharging nozzles while performing relative movement
of the ink-jet head and the substrate, includes the step of dividing the
plurality of ink discharging nozzles for discharging the ink having a
same color into a plurality of nozzle groups, each nozzle group including
every N nozzles, with N being a positive integer. In coloring one
substrate by performing the relative movement a plurality of times, an
ink discharging operation is performed such that inks are discharged by
using only one nozzle group of the plurality of nozzle groups in the
plural relative movements, and ink discharging nozzles which are used in
a subsequent relative movement always include all of, or part of, ink
discharging nozzles which have been used in a previous relative movement.
