Abstract

Disclosed herein is a color filter, which includes a substrate and a green color resist. The green color resist is disposed on the substrate. The green color resist has a function A(λ) defined by a product of the transmittance spectrum of the green color resist and the CIE color matching function z (λ). The function A(λ) has a maximum of less than 0.28, and the function A(λ) satisfies the following formula (II): ∫ 380 780 A (λ) d λ>10.26  formula (II).

Claims (36)

1. A color filter, comprising:

a substrate; and

a green color resist disposed on a surface of the substrate, wherein the green color resist has a transmittance spectrum T(λ) which is a function of the wavelength λ of light passing through the green color resist, and a function A(λ) defined by a product of the transmittance spectrum T(λ) and a CIE color matching function z (λ) the function A(λ) being represented by the following formula (I):

A (λ)= T (λ)× z (λ)  formula (I),

wherein the function A(λ) has a maximum of less than 0.28 when the wavelength λ is in the range from 380 nm to 780 nm, and the function A(λ) satisfies the requirements of the following formula (II):

∫ 380 780 A (λ) d λ>10.26  formula (II);

wherein the transmittance spectrum T(λ) has a maximum of greater than 0.9, and the transmittance spectrum T(λ) produces a chromaticity x of 0.28 to 0.327 and a chromaticity y of 0.6 to 0.62 in the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram, wherein a CIE standard illuminant C is used as a theoretical light source.

2. The color filter according to claim 1 , wherein the green color resist comprises a green pigment and a yellow dye.

3. The color filter according to claim 2 , wherein the yellow dye is selected from the group consisting of nitro dye, diphenylmethane dye, azo dye, thiazol, azine, acridine, quinoline and a combination thereof.

4. The color filter according to claim 2 , wherein the green pigment is phthalocyanine.

5. The color filter according to claim 1 , wherein the function A(λ) satisfies the requirements of the following formula (III):

∫ 380 780 A (λ) d λ>10.3  formula (III).

wherein the transmittance spectrum T(λ) has a maximum of greater than 0.9, and the transmittance spectrum T(λ) produces a chromaticity x of 0.28 to 0.327 and a chromaticity y of 0.6 to 0.62 in the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram, wherein a CIE standard illuminant C is used as a theoretical light source; and

a backlight module disposed below the active array substrate and configured to emit a light.

10. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 9 , wherein the green color resist comprises a green pigment and a yellow dye.

11. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 10 , wherein the yellow dye is selected from the group consisting of nitro dye, diphenylmethane dye, azo dye, thiazol, azine, acridine, quinoline and a combination thereof.
