  • Publication number: 20150124205
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device that allows a reduction in a voltage holding ratio (VHR) of a liquid crystal layer and an increase in an ion density (ID) in the liquid crystal layer to be suppressed and thereby addresses issues of faulty display such as white missing pixels, alignment inconsistencies, and burn-in. The liquid crystal display device according to the present invention, having a feature of suppressing the reduction in a voltage holding ratio (VHR) and the increase in an ion density (ID) in a liquid crystal layer and thereby suppressing occurrence of faulty display such as burn-in, is particularly useful as VA-mode and PSVA-mode liquid crystal display devices for active-matrix driving and may be used for liquid crystal display devices such as a liquid crystal TV, a monitor, a mobile phone, and a smart phone.

  • Patent number: 8420860
    Abstract: The present invention provides a triarylmethane compound and a color filter containing the compound in a blue pixel portion, the triarylmethane compound being capable of providing a colored material which causes little change in hue over a long period of time even under high temperature or light irradiation. For example, when used for preparing a blue pixel portion of a color filter, the triarylmethane compound is capable of providing a liquid crystal display device or the like which can provide a high-brightness liquid crystal display having excellent brightness over a long period of time even under high temperature or light irradiation. The triarylmethane compound contains, as a counter anion for a basic triarylmethane dye cation, a heteropolyoxometalate anion represented by (P2MoyW18-yO62)6?/6 wherein y=an integer of 1, 2, or 3, and the color filter contains the triarylmethane compound in a blue pixel portion.

  • Patent number: 8404894
    Abstract: There is provided a triarylmethane compound which can provide a colored product that has light resistance equivalent to heretofore available light resistance and that undergoes only a small change in hue over a long period of time even when having a high-temperature heat history. For example, when a blue pixel portion of a color filter is formed, there is provided a triarylmethane compound which can provide a liquid crystal display apparatus or the like that has light resistance equivalent to heretofore available light resistance and that can perform high-brightness liquid crystal display for a long time even at high temperature. There is also provided a color filter containing the triarylmethane compound in the blue pixel portion. In the triarylmethane compound, the counter-anion of a basic triarylmethane dye cation is a heteropolyoxometalate anion represented by (SiMoW11O40)4?/4. The color filter contains the triarylmethane compound in a blue pixel portion.
