The main object of the present invention is to provide a color filter for the IPS having little disturbance of the electric line of force, and a liquid crystal display apparatus using the color filter for the IPS. In order to achieve the object, the present invention provides a color filter for the IPS, comprising a base material, a light shielding part formed on the base material, a semiconductor photo catalyst containing layer formed so as to cover the base material and light shielding part, containing at least a semiconductor photo catalyst and an organopolysiloxane, and a colored layer formed in an opening part of the light shielding part on the semiconductor photo catalyst containing layer, wherein the specific resistance value of the semiconductor photo catalyst containing layer is 10.sup.6 .OMEGA.cm or more.
