  • Patent number: 8216750
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a color filter, includes forming a colored coated film on a substrate using a colored composition containing a pigment, a monomer having an ethylenic unsaturated double bond and photo-polymerization initiator, irradiating a filter segment-forming region or a black matrix-forming region of the colored coated film with an excimer laser beam having a wavelength of 308 nm (XeCL) at a dosage sufficient to achieve a cumulative light exposure of 1-150 mJ/cm2, thereby curing the irradiated region, removing uncured portions of the colored coated film to form the filter segment or the black matrix, and repeating the above-described steps plural times, thereby forming filter segments of at least two colors and/or a black matrix.

  • Publication number: 20010014645
    Abstract: There is provided a catalyst exhibiting a high activity and less catalytic deterioration, as well as a high selectivity, suitable for use in allowing aromatic hydrocarbons of 9 or more carbon atoms to react, and thereby converting them into toluene and aromatic hydrocarbons of 8 carbon atoms more useful as gasoline bases, and a conversion method using the catalyst. The catalyst is used for converting aromatic hydrocarbons of 9 or more carbon atoms in a material oil containing a component with a boiling point exceeding 210° C. into toluene and aromatic hydrocarbons of 8 carbon atoms in the presence of hydrogen, and contains a carrier containing one or more than one zeolites in which the maximum pore diameter of micropores is in a range of 0.6 to 1.0 nm; and one or more than one metals selected from the Group VIA metals of the Periodic Table or compounds thereof.
