To provide a blue composition for a color filter which realizes an image with a high color purity, a color filter and a color image display device.
A color image display device comprising a combination of light bulbs, a color filter having color elements of at least three colors of red, green and blue corresponding to the light bulbs, and a backlight for transmission illumination, wherein the backlight contains a LED in its structure, and under the following definitions: λn nm represents a wavelength at every interval of 5 nm in the visible light range of from 380 to 780 nm; TR(λn) a spectral transmittance (%) at a wavelength λn nm by a red pixel of the color filter; and I(λn) a relative emission intensity, normalized by a total emission intensity, at a wavelength λn nm from the backlight, these satisfy the following condition (1):
I(620-680)×TR(620-680)≧1.1 (1)
