Abstract: A method of manufacturing a color filter for a liquid crystal cell comprises forming a plurality of patterns, each of a respective dye intermediate material, on a carrier element. The patterns of dye intermediate materials are then brought into contact with a substrate layer, supported on a glass substrate, under the application of heat and pressure. The substrate layer, such as a polyacrylonitrile layer, contains free acid groups which interact with the dye intermediate materials to form the colors of the color filter in the substrate layer. The method permits the actual formation of the colors on the substrate to be effected in a single alignment step, minimizing wastage of the relatively expensive glass substrates. Furthermore, as the dyes providing the colors of the filter are chemically part of the substrate layer, they are very resistant to leaching by the liquid crystal materials.

Abstract: The effect of chlorine concentration in laundry solutions on the life of the laundered fabrics is signalled by a chlorine concentration indicator swatch, in which contrastingly hued dyes, including one whose chlorine resistance is measurably stronger than the other, are combined to dye fabric test swatches an initial color. Including such fabric test swatches in chlorine-containing laundry solutions causes visually discernable changes in the hues of the swatches as the bleaching action progressively subtracts those dyes of lesser resistance. Chlorine concentration which, if excessive, seriously impairs laundered fabrics, may be determined by visually inspecting the swatches.
