Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical state of the colorant from particulate (pigment) to molecular (dye), fundamentally altering the parameter of particle size to near-zero dimensions. This enables the colorant to provide both high durability through chemical bonding with the resin and high luminance through uniform molecular distribution and optimal light absorption characteristics.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses photopolymerization as an intermediary process to chemically bond the dye molecule to the binder resin and photopolymerizable monomer. This chemical bonding mechanism serves as a mediator that anchors the dye molecules firmly within the cured resin matrix, preventing dye migration, fading, and degradation, thereby achieving high durability and light resistance while maintaining the high luminance benefits of molecular colorants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite photosensitive resin system where the dye is integrated with binder resin, photopolymerizable monomer, and photopolymerization initiator. The photopolymerization process forms a crosslinked network structure that chemically incorporates the dye molecules, creating a unified composite material with enhanced durability, light resistance, and optical performance simultaneously.
