Latest Patents
Kaz holds a patent for a photostorage and emission material that alters color. This technology involves a component composed of at least one luminescent material and at least one fluorescent colorant and/or optical brightener. The luminescent component absorbs energy from a light source and continues to re-emit the light energy in a first wavelength spectrum when the light source is removed. This energy excites another component, including a fluorescent colorant and/or optical brightener material, which absorbs light at the first wavelength spectrum and re-radiates it at a second wavelength spectrum. The optical properties of each material are closely matched to ensure effective stimulation of the excitation spectrum.
