Fluorescent compositions comprising diketopyrrolopyrroles

The present invention relates to compositions comprising a guest chromophore and a host chromophore, wherein the absorption spectrum of the guest chromophore overlaps with the fluorescence emission spectrum of the host chromophore, wherein the host chromophore is a diketopyrrolopyrrole having an absorption peak at 500 to 720 nm, preferably 500 to 600 nm, most preferred 520 to 580 nm and wherein the guest chromophore is a diketopyrrolopyrrole having an absorption peak at 500 to 720 nm, preferably 500 to 600 nm, most preferred 520 to 580 nm and their use for the preparation of inks, colorants, pigmented plastics for coatings, non-impact-printing material, color filters, cosmetics, polymeric ink particles, toners, dye lasers and electroluminescent devices. A luminescent device comprising a composition according to the present invention is high in the efficiency of electrical energy utilisation and high in luminance.
