Silver halide photosensitive materials, printing inks, recording pens, and the like are actively used. Further, a color filter is used for recording and reproducing a color image on an image pickup device such as a CCD in a photographing apparatus and on an LCD or PDP in a display. In these color image recording materials and color filters, three primary colors (dyes and pigments) of the so-called additive color mixing method and subtractive color mixing method are used to display or record full color images. The fact is that there are no fast-acting dyes that have absorption characteristics that can satisfy the above conditions and that can withstand various use conditions and environmental conditions, and improvements are strongly desired.
  • the dyes and pigments used in each of the above applications must have the following properties in common. That is, it has preferable absorption characteristics in terms of color reproducibility, fastness under environmental conditions to be used, for example, light resistance, heat resistance, good resistance to oxidizing gases such as ozone, and the like.
  • the pigment when the pigment is a pigment, it is further substantially insoluble in water and organic solvents and has good chemical fastness, and even when used as particles, the preferred absorption characteristics in the molecular dispersion state are impaired. It is also necessary to have properties such as absence. The required characteristics can be controlled by the strength of intermolecular interaction, but they are in a trade-off relationship and are difficult to achieve both.

  • the group of compounds that can be used as pigments is extremely limited compared to dyes, and even if high-performance dyes are derived into pigments, there are only a few that can satisfy the required performance as fine particle dispersions. It cannot be developed. This is confirmed by the fact that the number of pigments registered in the color index is less than 1/10 of the number of dyes.
  • Azo pigments are widely used in printing inks, ink-jet inks, electrophotographic materials and the like because they are excellent in hue and coloring power, which are color characteristics.

  • a color image is formed with a plurality of pigment ink compositions, if even one color is inferior in light resistance, the hue of the image changes and the quality of the color image is extremely deteriorated.
  • C.I. I. Pigment Yellow 74 has a relatively good hue, but its light resistance is remarkably low, so when used in an ink set, the hue of the yellow, red, green, and gray areas changes significantly, so that the color image Quality degradation was a major issue.
