Color conversion films for a LCD (liquid crystal display) having RGB (red, green, blue) color filters, as well as such displays, formulations, precursors and methods are provided, which improve display performances with respect to color gamut, energy efficiency, materials and costs. The color conversion films absorb backlight illumination and convert the energy to green and/or red emission at high efficiency, specified wavelength ranges and narrow emission peaks. For example, rhodamine-based fluorescent compounds are used in matrices produced by sol gel processes and/or UV (ultraviolet) curing processes which are configured to stabilize the compounds and extend their lifetime - to provide the required emission specifications of the color conversion films. Film integration and display configurations further enhance the display performance with color conversion films utilizing various color conversion elements.

Provided is a silicone gel composition which contains, as a base polymer, a silicon-bonded alkenyl group-containing straight-chain or branched-chain organopolysiloxane containing a specific amount of a diphenylsiloxane unit in the molecule, and contains a specific blending amount of a cross-linking agent having a specific molecular structure, a platinum-based curing catalyst, a hydrophobized fine silica powder, and an isocyanuric acid derivative having a specific molecular structure having at least two trialkoxysilyl-substituted alkyl groups in the molecule, wherein the curing of the silicone gel composition gives a silicone gel cured product having a penetration of 10-100 as specified in JIS K6249. Since the silicone gel composition exhibits little spread when applied to substrates of various electronic boards such as control circuit boards, little change in shape before and after thermal curing, and little change in the penetration of the cured product under high temperature conditions, a specific semiconductor element such as a photocoupler mounted on a control board can be exclusively coated (so-called spot potting) and the element and the like can be sealed in a desired shape. Thus, the silicone gel composition is useful as a silicone gel composition for sealing a photocoupler and the like.
