a method of forming a color filter is provided . the method includes providing a mixture of a color filter material and a compressed fluid ; providing at least a partially controlled environment for retaining a substrate , the at least partially controlled environment being in fluid communication with the mixture of the color filter material and the compressed fluid ; providing a shadow mask in close proximity to the substrate retained in the at least partially controlled environment ; and chargably releasing the mixture of the color filter material and the compressed fluid into the at least partially controlled environment , wherein the color filter material becomes free of the compressed fluid prior to contacting the substrate at locations defined by the shadow mask thereby forming a patterned deposition on the substrate .
