  • Publication number: 20220316034
    Abstract: The present invention provides a photoluminescent aluminum alloy which exhibits high mechanical properties and which suppresses, to a high degree, the occurrence of color unevenness in cases where a tungsten-containing aluminum alloy die-cast material is subjected to anodization. Also provided is a photoluminescent aluminum alloy die-cast material produced using the photoluminescent aluminum alloy. This aluminum alloy contains 0.5-3.0 mass % of Mn, 0.3-2.0 mass % of Mg, 0.01-1.0 mass % of W and 1.0-3.0 mass % of Zn, with the remainder comprising aluminum and unavoidable impurities.

  • Patent number: 6731359
    Abstract: Color filters are provided which can realize reflection or semi-transmission color liquid crystal display devices having high luminance and excellent color properties. This color filter comprises at least a substrate and a colored layer of a plurality of color patterns, and includes light scattering fine particles and has a haze of 10 to 90. The inclusion of the light scattering fine particles within the color filter can impart a light scattering function to the color filter per se. This can eliminate the need to provide a front scattering plate on the color filter (in its viewer side). Further, a deterioration in color properties caused by light scattering can be surely compensated for by the color property correction of the colored layer per se and/or by the correction of color properties through the addition of a colorant. This is suitable for surely preventing a deterioration in color properties of the color filter per se.
