LCD COLOR FILTER INKS MARKET

INTRODUCTION

Color pictures on liquid crystal displays (LCDs) used in LCD televisions, laptops, and smartphones are created by combining three main colors of light: red (R), green (G), and blue (B). Pigments are used to generate these colors.

LCDs generate pictures by passing light from a backlight bulb through a color filter with an RGB pattern applied to it. As a result, the pigments in the color filter are critical to image quality.

With transition to digital terrestrial television driving greater demand for flat panel LCD televisions and the growing popularity of smartphones, DIC released the G58 series of green pigments, which produced a significant boost in brightness. The series comprises FASTOGEN GREEN A350, a green pigment with exceptional brightness and contrast.

This maintains outstanding image quality even when the backlight is turned off. DIC developed the G59 series of green pigments for wide color gamut color filters in fiscal year, which deliver superior brightness and color reproduction and are suitable for use in filters for next-generation high-definition displays, including ultra-high-definition (UHD) televisions. 

The global market for green pigments used in color filters, making its products the de facto standard. Also produces blue pigments for use in color filters. The A series, which offers an excellent mix of brightness and contrast, was created by the Company.

The optical qualities of pigments in this series have received great praise from smartphone makers, increasing global market dominance.

Many color filter manufacturers have embraced pigments for color filters that meet the different performance needs of displays used in LCD televisions, smartphones, tablets, and laptop computers while also providing value.

These pigments, in addition to boosting image quality, minimize energy usage and, as a result, CO2 emissions. Having identified pigments for color filters as a potential growth driver, DIC is seeking to strengthen its development and product supply capabilities.

Over the years, the Company accumulated development and design capabilities, as well as production technologies critical to the manufacture of fine chemicals, and in 1973 commercialized revolutionary high-performance, long-lasting nematic LCs, which were adopted by Sharp Corporation for use in the world's first pocket calculator with an LCD. Its color filter pigments reflect its passion and development prowess.

Color reproduction on large-screen LCD televisions is supposed to be extraordinarily realistic and precise. Small LCDs used in smartphones and other devices must be crisp, simple to read, and bright enough to ensure legibility even in low-light conditions.

This is due to the fact that lower light needs result in longer battery life. To increase brightness, color filters must be made thinner and more transparent.

This alone will not provide vibrant colors and resolution. With the topic of how to effectively realize both high brightness and vivid colors on a continuous problem for display producers, has answered by inventing unique pigments for this purpose.

Copper has always been the primary ingredient in green colors. In producing green pigments for color filters, bucked traditional thinking by experimenting with a new core material with the purpose of further improving performance qualities.

The Company refined the list of viable materials from a large number of contenders by trial and error, finally selecting zinc. also greatly increased transparency by lowering the size of pigment particles, resulting in a huge improvement in contrast, ensuring a bright, clear image

In the field of blue pigments for color filters, it used its excellent molecular design skills to produce exceptional tinting strength and accurate particle size control.

The Company also used specialist particle surface processing to achieve very stable dispersion, resulting in an exceptional balance of brightness and contrast in the A series of blue pigments for color filters.

The A series products now dominate the market for blue pigments for color filters, providing exceptional optical qualities that continue to garner high accolades from smartphone makers.

The seamless integration of fundamental technologies collected in many domains as a manufacturer of color materials, the cross business R&D design of its Central Research Laboratories, and the success in generating a constant stream of pioneering functional pigments all contribute to the company's success in developing a steady stream of pioneering functional pigments.

LCD COLOR FILTER INKS MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

The Global LCD Color Filter Inks Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

LCD COLOR FILTER INKS MARKETNEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

SCREEN Finetech Solutions Co., Ltd. (SCREEN FT) has developed the SK-F1500H, a new coater/developer specifically built for the film forming process of anti-reflective color filters.

These color filters are designed for use in flexible organic EL displays (OLEDs) with rollable or foldable constructions. SCREEN FT anticipates that the SK-F1500H will make a substantial contribution to the enhancement of OLED panel yield rates. 

Rollable and foldable capabilities for OLED displays have improved quickly in recent years, notably for mobile device applications. The multi-film laminated construction utilized for these displays, however, is considered to be one of the sources of wrinkles in regions where they are bent. This effect has resulted in the decrease of film.

Manufacturers are fast adopting color filter (CF) films with anti-reflection features as a replacement for multi-layered circular polarizers to make this practicable. CF films, in addition to lowering the number of layers necessary, provide excellent transmittance and, as a consequence, energy efficiency, which is predicted to significantly enhance the operational life of displays. 

In light of this, SCREEN FT has created the SK-F1500H coater/developer, which is particularly built for the forming process of CF films used in rollable or foldable OLEDs. In doing so, the business has drawn on its significant experience in developing market-proven coater/developers for the production of OLED panels. 

The SK-F1500H is intended for the formation of CF films on substrates having an OLED luminous layer. It is capable of achieving exceptional efficiency by performing
