TRANSPARENT COLOURANTS AND COLOURANT COMPOSITIONS, AND THEIR USE

摘要

The invention relates to a colourant composition comprising in a weight ratio of from 99:1 to 10:90, preferably a weight ratio of from 95:5 to 30:70, particularly preferred a weight ratio of from 95:5 to 50:50, a pigment of average particle size from 10 to 200nm and a 1- or 2-phenylthio-substituted anthraquinones of greenish-yellow colour hue, lacking electron-rich N( III), O( II) and further S( II) substituents on the anthraquinone ring. The compositions are particularly useful in patterned colour filters. Compounds wherein the 1- or 2-phenylthio group is substituted by SOR10, SO2R10, SO3R10, SO2NR11R12, CN, COR10, COOR10 or CONR11R12, or the anthraquinone group is substituted by SO2NR11R12 are also claimed, with a few exceptions. The invention also relates to a compound of Formula (III) or (IV), wherein at least one of R1, R2and R3 is SOR10, SO2R10, SO3R10, SO2NR11R12, CN or COR10, or at least one of R7, R8 and R9 is SO2NR11R12, with the proviso that R3 is not SO2NH2.
