An optical filter applied to a display apparatus, disposes on a substrate with transparency and has a maximum absorption wavelength λ in a wavelength range of 575±20 nm in connection with a wavelength range from 450 to 650 nm. The optical filter satisfies a relationship, 0.65≦T1 (λ)/T2 (λ)≦0.90 where T1 (λ) is a transmittance at a central part of the substrate at the maximum absorption wavelength λ, and T2 (λ) is a transmittance at a peripheral part of the substrate at the maximum absorption wavelength λ. The optical filter also satisfies a relationship, 0.90≦(T1 (λ1)/T2 (λ1))/(T1 (λ)/T2 (λ))≦1.05 with respect to transmittances wherein λ1 is each wavelength 450 nm, 530 nm and 630 nm, and λ is the maximum absorption wavelength.
