Provided is a coloring composition capable of producing a cured film having suppressed color unevenness even in a case where the coloring composition is used after being stored for a long period of time. In addition, provided are a color filter, a pattern forming method, a solid-state imaging device, and an image display device. The coloring composition includes a halogenated zinc phthalocyanine pigment, a maleimide compound, a curable compound other than the maleimide compound, and a solvent, in which the molecular weight of the maleimide compound is 100 to 400, and the content of the maleimide compound is 0.08 to 0.8 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the halogenated zinc phthalocyanine pigment.

A near-infrared absorbing composition including a near-infrared absorbing dye [A], a resin-based dispersant [B1] having an amine value in the range from 20 to 200 (mg KOH/g), and a binder resin [C] having a weight average molecular weight in the range from 5,000 to 40,000 and an acid value of 130 mg KOH/g or less.

A composite nanomaterial of ZnO impregnated by, e.g., a green copper phthalocyanine compound (CuPc) can be an efficient solar light photocatalyst for water remediation. The composite may include hollow shell microspheres and hollow nanospheres of CuPc-ZnO. CuPc may function as a templating and/or structure modifying agent, e.g., for forming hollow microspheres and/or nanospheres of ZnO particles. The composite can photocatalyze the degradation of organic pollutants such as crystal violet (CV) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid as well as microbes in water under solar light irradiation. The ZnOCuPc composite can be stable and recyclable under solar irradiation.

The present invention relates to specific Ga-naphthalocyanine chromophores with short chain alkoxy axial substituents, their use as almost colourless IR absorbers, for optical filter applications; especially for plasma display panels, or for laser welding of plastics. The compounds may be used in compositions for inks, paints and plastics, especially in a wide variety of printing systems and are particularly well-suited for security applications.
