LCDs (liquid crystal displays) with improved efficiency and performance, as well as corresponding methods are disclosed. Color conversion films and elements with rhodamine-based fluorescent compounds and/or assistant dyes are used to modify the spectrum of the illumination provided by the backlight unit in either or both the backlight unit itself and the LCD panel, in various configurations. Color conversion may be performed above the LC module, possibly by a patterned layer incorporating the color filters, and/or within the backlight unit within a fluorescence-intensifying section in which radiation is recycled to enhance color conversion. Film configuration, positions and optionally supportive structures are provided, to extend the lifetime of the fluorescent compounds. Collimation of backlight illumination may further enhance the optical performance of disclosed LCDs.

The azomethine compound provided by this case is a compound showing high chroma and having excellent light resistance.

A light emitting diode (LED) white light device and a backlight module. The LED white light device includes a white light source and a purified film disposed on the white light source. The purified film is evenly distributed with a first rhodamine dye configured to transfer cyan light into green light and a second rhodamine dye configured to transfer orange light into red light.

A thermal transfer recording sheet including a substrate and a yellow coloring material layer, a magenta coloring material layer, and a cyan coloring material layer frame-sequentially formed on the substrate, wherein at least one of the yellow coloring material layer, the magenta coloring material layer, and the cyan coloring material layer contains a compound with a specified structure.

The present application relates to novel whitening agents for cellulosic substrates. The whitening agents are comprised of at least two constituents: at least one chromophore constituent and at least one polymeric constituent. Suitable chromophore components generally fluoresce blue, red, violet, or purple color when exposed to light, or they may absorb light to reflect these same shades. The whitening agents are further characterized by the polymeric component comprising at least two repeating glycerol units. This disclosure also relates to laundry care compositions including but not limited to liquid and/or powder laundry detergent formulations and rinse added fabric softening (RAFS) compositions that comprise such whitening agents.
