For a long time, torches, candles, gas light, light bulbs, gas discharge and fluorescent tubes fulfilled the desire for light and image reproduction. Over time, however, the need and requirements for greater performance, energy efficiency and usability of optical displays and for moving images increased. As a result, new imaging concepts were developed with the help of the latest findings in physics and chemistry. The lecture gives an overview of the chemistry of such modern physical concepts for displays and light generation.

The development of chemical-pharmaceutical chemistry is closely linked to the development of dyes and is also a driver of industrial innovation. The global competition for our chemical site is a constant challenge for new products and solutions. Effect pigments are an example of the successful implementation of a new concept for colour and function. In addition to classic absorption and metallic pigments, these combine iridescent, bright colours with attractive gloss effects. They are based on the natural model of mother-of-pearl, mineral or textured colours. As multi-layer pigments, they are accessible on a large scale thanks to an intelligent combination of simple, technical and chemical processes and are increasingly being used as functional materials.
