Aroyl chromophore oxime esters: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inefficient photon absorption in liquid crystal displays leads to poor image contrast and slow curing speeds. Engineering specific aroyl chromophores and azo-azomethine structures optimizes light-to-chemical conversion and dichroic alignment for high-fidelity optical performance.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Aroyl chromophore oxime esters?

Insufficient near-infrared absorption intensity

(11)evidences

Standard chromophores lack the necessary spectral coverage and absorption strength in the NIR range. Enhancing NIR sensitivity is critical for high-resolution imaging and thermal stability in optical applications.

Insufficient photoinitiation sensitivity

(8)evidences

Low quantum yield and spectral mismatch in luminescent collectors hinder data transmission speeds. Improving conversion efficiency reduces signal loss in optical communication systems.
