  • Publication number: 20200278608
    Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a coloring composition which contains a threne compound unlikely to be highly dispersed in glycol solvents used in color filter-preparing steps in recent years, which allows the threne compound to be highly dispersed in a glycol solvent, and which can be used without causing an undesirable influence such as a curing failure in a color filter-preparing step. The above problem is solved by providing a coloring composition containing a specific anthraquinone derivative, a threne compound, and a glycol organic solvent.
