| Description
| In some of these reprographics applications the organic colorant is used in its traditional role of imparting color to a substrate, typically paper or plastic. In other application it is a special effect of an organic colorant that is utilized, not its color. Examples are electrical effects, such as photoconduction and the electrostatic charging of toners, both of which are essential features for the operation of photocopiers and laser printers, and the selective absorption of infrared radiation, which is utilized in optical data storage.
In electronic applications the organic colorant is often employed in a device. Typical examples include liquid crystal dyes, laser dyes, electro-chromic dyes, dyes for solar cells, dyes for micro color filters, and dyes for nonlinear optical applications.
