Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to display technologies, and more particularly relate to a color film substrate and a manufacturing method thereof.
Principle of RGBW liquid crystal display technology is to add a white sub-pixel (W) sub-pixel to a conventional RGB pixel consisting of a red (R) sub-pixel, a green (G) sub-pixel, and a blue (B) sub-pixel, and then apply corresponding sub-pixel imaging techniques to arrange those sub-pixels accordingly. This can ensure that images that are not visible to the human eye are generated without loss of display power and lightness source. The RGBW pixel design makes the display brighter and higher resolution than the conventional RGB pixel design.
However, in manufacture of the RGBW four-color sub-pixel, it is required to coat four kinds of color resist materials on the base substrate of the color film substrate, thereby causing an increasing cost of the substrate material, and the manufacturing process becomes also complicated.

An outgoing light passing through the first secondary color resist 241 emits red light, an outgoing light passing through the second secondary color resist 242 emits green light, and an outgoing light passing through the third secondary color resist 243 emits blue light. Since the areas of the first secondary color resist 241, the second secondary color resist 242, and the third secondary color resist 243 are equal, an outgoing light after mixing the red light emitted by the outgoing light passing through the first secondary color resist 241, the green light emitted by the outgoing light passing through the second secondary color resist 242, and the blue light emitted by the outgoing light passing through the third secondary color resist 243 is white light.
