Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of a multi-color filter array element, for use in color flat panel displays, a multi-layer color photographic material is exposed to printing light, modulated by a master. Instead of varying the conditions of the printing light in order to achieve specified calorimetric characteristics, the filter density of the pixels on the master is established such that a correct color print is obtained under fixed standard printing conditions. A method is disclosed for computing and achieving the required spectral densities on the color print and on the master.

Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a multicolor filter array element, firmly associated with a transparent electrode layer in a multicolor liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:(i) exposing a silver halide color photographic (print) material comprising a plurality of differently spectrally sensitive silver halide emulsion layers on a glass support, with a single step multicolor pixelwise exposure,(ii) color processing said exposed print material producing thereby in each silver halide emulsion layer a differently colored pixel pattern,(iii) coating said color processed print material at its silver halide emulsion layer assemblage side with a hydrophobic water-impermeable organic resin layer(iv) curing said organic resin layer by heating said layer at temperatures between 100.degree. C. and 250.degree. C.

Abstract: A photographic print material suited for the production of a multicolor filter array element for use in a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal layer wherein the print material comprises a glass plate supporting on one side thereof (i) a silver halide emulsion layer sensitive to blue light and containing a yellow dye forming color coupler, (ii) a silver halide emulsion layer sensitive to green light and containing a magenta dye forming color coupler, and (iii) a sliver halide emulsion layer sensitive to red light and containing a cyan dye forming color coupler. The red light sensitive emulsion layer is disposed on the side of the array remote from the glass supporting plate and in each of the silver halide emulsion layers the equivalent ratio of silver halide to color coupler is at least 1 and preferably 1.2. A water-impermeable organic resin covering layer is applied over the red light sensitive emulsion layer and a transparent electrode layer is vacuum deposited over the covering layer.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal display wherein a liquid crystal material is contained in a gap defined between two surfaces, at least one of the said facing surfaces of the gap is constructed by a multi-color relief layer obtained by the color-development of a single hydrophilic colloid silver halide emulsion layer. The relief layer has different regions of multiple different thicknesses corresponding to the plurality of colors thereof, the thickness of each such relief region being characteristic of the particular color of that region. Each different relief region contains a dye of the corresponding color derived from a color coupling agent by the color development and a diffusion-resistant colorless compound derived from a colorless coupling agent by said color development. The colorless compound is present in each relief region in an amount which is different from that in each other relief region and is characteristic of that region.
