A color-converting-function-possessing color filter and a method for its
manufacture are disclosed. A simplified manufacturing process is provided
that makes possible highly detailed patterning. The method of
manufacturing the color-converting filter comprises a step of forming
color filter layers on a transparent substrate, a step of forming a
colorant layer containing a color-converting colorant on the color filter
layers, and a step of exposing the colorant layer via the transparent
substrate and the color filter layers using colorant-decomposing light,
thus forming color-converting layers in positions corresponding to the
color filter layers. In usage, a layered body consists of a transparent
substrate, color filter layers and a colorant layer as a
color-converting-function-possessing filter.
