A color filter substrate includes a transparent substrate having an effective display region and a frame region enclosing the effective display region, color filters including a first color filter, a second color filter and a third color filter having different colors, the color filters being formed in linear patterns on the transparent substrate such that adjacent two of the first, second, and third color filters are formed without a gap therebetween, and a light-shielding layer formed on the first color filter, the second color filter and the third color filter. The first color filter has a line width which is substantially ½ of a line width of the second color filter and a line width of the third color filter. The first color filter, the second color filter and the third color filter have no projection formed by an overlap of at least two color filters of different colors.
