Patent number: 8420860Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: DIC CorporationInventors: Hitoshi Kondou, Shougo Yamada, Ryousuke Asami, Katsunori Shimada
