The main objection of the present invention is to provide a high quality color filter having a colored layer formed by ink jet method and without color irregularity, a void, or the like.To achieve the object, the present invention provides a color filter comprising a base material, a light shielding part having a plurality of linear light shielding parts formed by a predetermined equal interval on the base material and interlocking light shielding parts for interlocking two of the light shielding parts adjacent by a predetermined interval, and colored layers formed between each of the linear light shielding parts so as to cover the interlocking light shielding parts, wherein the interlocking light shielding parts are formed such that the width of the interlocking light shielding parts at the side part of the linear light shielding parts is narrower than the width of the interlocking light shielding parts at the central part between two of the linear light shielding parts adjacent, or the linear light shielding parts and the interlocking light shielding parts are formed so as not to be contacted, and furthermore, the colored layers are formed by the ink jet method.
