Abstract

A method for preparing a color filter array element is disclosed which includes coating an image receiving layer on one surface of a thin support, with the thin support being rigid in the horizontal plane. Thereafter, a colored pattern of pixel cells is transferred from a colorant donor sheet onto the image receiving layer. The method further includes laminating to a surface of a rigid, transparent support either the coated surface of the thin, rigid support carrying the colored pattern of pixel cells or the other surface of the thin, rigid support, to thereby form the color filter array element.
