For a long time, torches, candles, gaslight, the light bulb, 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 moving images increased. With the help of the latest findings in physics and chemistry, novel imaging concepts were therefore developed. The lecture provides an overview of the chemistry behind such modern physical concepts for displays and light generation.

The development of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries is closely linked to the development of dyes and is also a driver of industrial innovation. Global competition for our chemical industry location constantly challenges us to develop new products and solutions. Effect pigments are an example of the successful implementation of an innovative concept combining colour and function. Complementing classic absorption and metallic pigments, these combine iridescent, luminous colours with attractive gloss effects. They are based on natural models such as mother-of-pearl, mineral and structural colours. As multilayer pigments, they can be produced on a large scale through the intelligent combination of simple technical and chemical processes and are increasingly being used as functional materials.
