The present disclosure relates to a color film substrate, a method for manufacturing the color film substrate, a display device and a method for manufacturing the display device. The color film substrate comprises: a basal substrate; a color film layer arranged on a side of the basal substrate; a conductive layer arranged on another side of the basal substrate, the conductive layer comprising a plurality of conductive regions; each conductive region comprising a driving channel and an inducing channel; a first gap between the driving channel and the inducing channel in a same conductive region, a second gap between adjacent conductive regions; the first gap and the second gap correspond to a position of a black matrix in the color film layer; the black matrix being used for absorbing light, which light comes from a side of the basal substrate provided with the conductive layer, enters from the first gaps and the second gaps, and passes through the basal substrate. With the solution according to the embodiment of the present invention, the shadow elimination effect of a substrate can be ensured without adding or removing any layer structure for the color film substrate, thereby avoiding impacts on the other performances of the color film substrate.
