1. A display panel comprising:
- a color filter having a color portion formed in at least one recess portion surrounded by partition walls on a substrate and protective layers formed on said color portion and said partition walls, wherein a thickness of said color portion is 20% to 80% of a thickness of said partition walls, and a thickness of a protective layer formed on said partition walls is smaller than a thickness of a protective layer formed on said color portion;
a counter substrate which faces said color filter; and
a liquid crystal layer disposed between said color filter and said counter substrate,wherein the protective layers are formed of a heat-melted material.

Abstract
A display apparatus includes a color filter with a color portion formed in at least one recess portion surrounded by partition walls on a substrate and a protective layer formed on the color portion and the partition walls. A thickness of the color portion is 20% to 80% of a thickness of the partition walls, and a thickness of a first protective layer formed on the partition walls is smaller than a thickness of a second protective layer formed on the color portion. In addition, a counter substrate faces the color filter, a liquid crystal layer exists between the color filter and the counter substrate, and a spacer is arranged on the first protective layer formed on the partition walls.

22. A method of manufacturing a color filter comprising the steps of:
-
forming a color portion by injecting ink into at least one recess portion surrounded by partition walls on a substrate so that a thickness of the color portion becomes 20% to 80% of a thickness of the partition walls; and forming protective layers on the color portion and the partition walls so that a thickness of a first protective layer formed on the partition walls becomes smaller than a thickness of a second protective layer formed on the color portion, wherein the protective layers are formed of a heat-melted material.

23. A color filter having colored portions formed by filling at least one recess portion surrounded by partition walls on a substrate with ink, comprising:
-
a colored portion formed in the recess portion, with a mean distance from a bottom surface to a top surface of said colored portion being 20% to 80% of a distance from a bottom portion to a top portion of the partition wall; and a protective portion formed on the top surface of said colored portion and the top portion of the partition wall, wherein a distance from a bottom surface to a top surface of said protective portion formed on the top portion of the partition wall is smaller than a distance from a bottom surface to a top surface of said protective portion formed on the top surface of said colored portion, and said protective portion is formed of a heat-melted material.
