Color filter array containing a photocrosslinked polymeric mordant

Claim 1

A color filter array comprised of interlaid sets of laterally displaced first, second, and third additive primary filters, characterized in that said sets of filters are comprised of two discrete bottom layers, one bottom layer containing a first subtractive primary dye forming a bottom layer of said first and second filters and a second bottom layer containing a second subtractive primary dye forming a bottom layer of said third filters and said sets of filters being formed of two discrete overlying layers, one overlying layer containing said second subtractive primary dye forming an overlying layer of said first filters and a second overlying layer containing a third subtractive primary dye forming an overlying layer of said second and third filters, at least one of said bottom and overlying layers being of controlled thickness and containing a single subtractive primary anionic dye and a cationic vinyl polymer mordant containing crosslinking repeating units of the formula: ##STR68## wherein, independently in each occurrence, Ar is an aromatic linking group, R is a methylene group, R 1 is a lower alkyl group, R 2 is a divalent linking group, X is a [1,3-cyclobutylene] crosslinking group photogenerated by the addition reaction of two X 1 groups, X 1 is chosen from the group consisting of ##STR69## Ar 1 is an aromatic moiety; Ar 2 is a divalent aromatic moiety; E is an oxy or imino moiety; m is 1 or 2; n is 0 or 1; R 4 is a terminal hydrocarbon group; and Z represents one or more charge balancing counter ions.

Claim 18

A device for displaying color images on a viewable surface comprised of a plurality of laterally displaced pixel areas, means for modulating within each pixel area the luminance of light transmitted to the viewable surface and a filter array for controlling within each pixel area the chrominance of light transmitted to the viewable surface comprised of interlaid sets of laterally displaced first, second, and third additive primary filters, characterized in that said sets of filters are comprised of two discrete bottom layers, one bottom layer containing a first subtractive primary dye forming a bottom layer of said first and second filters and a second bottom layer containing a second subtractive primary dye forming a bottom layer of said third filters and said sets of filters are comprised of two discrete overlying layers, one overlying layer containing said second subtractive primary dye forming an overlying layer of said first filter and a second overlying layer containing a third subtractive primary dye forming an overlying layer of said second and third filters, each of said bottom and overlying layers being of controlled thickness and containing a single subtractive primary anionic dye and a cationic vinyl polymer mordant containing crosslinking repeating units of the formula: ##STR78## wherein, independently in each occurrence, Ar is an aromatic linking group, R is a methylene group, R 1 is a lower alkyl group, R 2 is a divalent linking group, X is a [1,3-cyclobutylene] crosslinking group photogenerated by the addition reaction of two X 1 groups, X 1 is chosen from the group consisting of ##STR79## Ar 1 is an aromatic moiety; Ar 2 is a divalent aromatic moiety; E is an oxy or imino moiety; m is 1 or 2; n is 0 or 1; R 4 is a terminal hydrocarbon group; and Z represents one or more charge balancing counter ions.
