To provide a color filter causing no touch variations when a liquid crystal screen is traced by a roller or a finger, to provide an image display device using the same and an apparatus for evaluating the same.

The color filter having a colored pixel formed on one surface of a substrate has a columnar projecting part PS at a prescribed position and the columnar projecting part PS has 0.2 m half-value displacement in 1/2 (0.3 mN/m2) of the maximum load of a compression curve (L1) and an unload curve (L2) in a hysteresis curve obtained by a push-in test (maximum load is 0.6 mN/m2) using a Picker's indenter.
