Infrared-absorbing composition, film, optical filter, solid-state imaging element, image display device, and infrared sensor

An infrared-absorbing composition comprising:

• particles of an infrared-absorbing coloring agent;
• and
• a solvent,
• wherein the particles in the infrared-absorbing composition have two or more maximal absorption wavelengths exhibited in a wavelength range of 650 to 1500 nm, and
• in the range, in a case where an absorbance at a maximal absorption wavelength existing on a second shortest wavelength side is set to 1, an absorbance at a maximal absorption wavelength existing on a shortest wavelength side is 0.6 to 2.0,
• wherein the infrared-absorbing coloring agent comprises a compound represented by Formula (PP-2):
• wherein, in Formula (PP-2), R1a represents an alkyl group;
• R1b represents a substituent;
• R3, R4, R5, and R6 each independently represent a cyano group or a heteroaryl group;
• R7 and R8 each indecently represent —BR9R10 wherein R9 and R10 each independently represent an aryl group;
• L1 represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, —O—, or an (n2+1)-valent linking group consisting of a combination of these groups;
• X1 represents an acid group or a basic group;
• n1 represents 0;
• n2 represents 1;
• and m1 represents 1.
