Optical filter

An optical filter, comprising:

• a substrate,
• a dielectric multilayer film 1 laid on or above one major surface of the substrate, and
• a dielectric multilayer film 2 laid on or above the other major surface of the substrate, wherein
• the substrate comprises a near infrared ray absorbing glass and a resin film,
• the resin film comprises a resin and a pigment (NIR1), and
• the optical filter satisfies all of the following spectral characteristics (i-1) to (i-7):
• (i-1) in a spectral transmittance curve at an incident angle of 0 degrees, an average transmittance T450-600(0deg)AVE at a wavelength of 450 nm to 600 nm is 85% or more,
• (i-2) in the spectral transmittance curve at an incident angle of 0 degrees, a maximum transmittance T450-600(0deg)MAX at the wavelength of 450 nm to 600 nm is 90% or more,
• (i-3) in the spectral transmittance curve at an incident angle of 0 degrees, a wavelength IR50(0deg) at which a transmittance is 50% is in a range of 610 nm to 650 nm,
• (i-4) in a spectral transmittance curve at an incident angle of 40 degrees, a wavelength IR50(40deg) at which a transmittance is 50% is in the range of 610 nm to 650 nm,
