To provide a color filter having the flatness to an extent that the alignment disorder of liquid crystal leading to deterioration of display quality does not occur, capable of normally conducting foreign matter protrusion inspection using reflected light, and used for manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel with the high contrast of light and shade.

The color filter is provided with a resin black matrix whose optical density per unit film thickness is ≥4.4/μm, the film thickness is ≤0.9μm, and the surface roughness is ≤30 nm using black particulates having high light shielding property and small in particle size.
