A color filter includes a transparent substrate, a black matrix formed on the transparent substrate, a plurality of banks superposed on the black matrix, and a color layer formed of R, G and B color portions. The black matrix defines a plurality of sub-pixels of the color filter. The banks and the black matrix enclose a plurality of spaces for respectively accommodating the R, G and B color portions. Wherein, a plurality of groups is defined, each group includes a plurality of sub-pixels of concolorous color portions, at least one channel is formed on the bank between adjacent sub-pixels of concolorous color portions in the group. In a manufacturing method for the color filter, the ink can flow over between the adjacent sub-pixels in a defined group and level through the channel, thus the uniformity of the color portions can be improved.
