Amorphous organic thin-film device, amorphous organic polymer composition, and amorphous inorganic composition

An amorphous organic thin-film device comprising an organic thin film containing a dye molecule, wherein said dye molecule has a molecular structure having an aromatic skeleton and three or more dye skeletons, and wherein said dye molecule is represented by the following formula (1)

• R-(X-Y).sub.n ( 1)
• wherein R represents an aromatic skeleton;
• X represents a linkage group, containing a chemical bond formed by a condensation reaction, selected from the group consisting of an ester linkage, a urethane linkage, a carbonate linkage, a thioester linkage, a urea linkage, a thiourea linkage;
• a hydrazone linkage, a carbamate linkage and a thioether linkage;
• Y represents a dye skeleton with or without a substituent;
• and n is an integer of 3 or more, in which n members of X and Y may be the same or different, said linkage X preventing the expansion of .pi.-bonding between the .pi.-system of the aromatic skeleton R and the .pi.-system of a dye skeleton Y.
