It consists of a fixed arrangement of vertical and horizontal directions. The filter segments are as fine as several microns to several hundred microns, and are arranged in a predetermined arrangement for each hue.

• Color display is enabled by providing a color filter between the two polarizing plates.However, in general, a color filter in which an organic pigment is dispersed disturbs the degree of polarization controlled by the liquid crystal due to scattering of light by pigment particles. Problem. That is, there is a phenomenon in which light leaks when light must be cut off (OFF state) and transmitted light attenuates when light must be transmitted (ON state).
• the power to call the ratio of the brightness on the display between the ON state and the OFF state the contrast ratio In general, it is known that the smaller the pigment particle diameter in the color filter, the higher the contrast ratio! /
• the transparency In ordinary paints and inks, the transparency generally increases as the degree of dispersion of the pigment is increased.
• ordinary dispersing machines such as a sand mill, a three-roll mill, and a ball mill, the pigment is dispersed to primary particles. Then, the transparency cannot be improved any more.
• the dispersing process in a usual dispersing machine is a process of loosening secondary particles, which are mainly aggregates of the primary particles of the pigment, to obtain a dispersion in a state close to the primary particles and further improving the transparency. To do this, the primary particles need to be further finely focused.
• a high-speed sand mill is excellent in atomizing pigments, and is a force capable of reducing primary particles depending on pigments. In this case, a very large amount of energy is required.
• the dry pulverization method is a method in which the primary particles of the pigment are finely pulverized by dry pulverization using a ball mill, an attritor, a vibration mill, or the like. Compared to the solvent salt milling method, the production per unit energy is reduced. Efficiency is high. No industrial waste is generated, which has an impact on the environment. This is a preferable method in terms of the point. If dry pulverization is simply applied to the coarse pigment particles while applying force, the primary particles of the pigment can be finely dispersed, but the particle diameter varies greatly and the cohesive force between the particles is extremely strong. Therefore, in many cases, only large aggregates in which a large number of finely divided pigment primary particles are strongly and strongly bonded are obtained, and it is very difficult to disperse the pigment particles.

• the pigments become extremely strong aggregates as compared with the dry pulverization method. Is very difficult to disperse. For this reason, even if a pigment whose primary particles are made finer by this method is used, it is difficult to further improve the contrast.o
• the thickness of the filter segment of the color filter is about 1 ⁇ m, and the variation in the film thickness is suppressed to 10 Onm or less. Since the photosensitive coloring composition is usually applied with a spin coater or the like, in order to achieve this accuracy, the photosensitive coloring composition is required to have an extremely low viscosity. In general, the more the pigment is dispersed, the higher the viscosity of the photosensitive coloring composition becomes, and the viscosity tends to increase with time.
