Near-infrared absorption film

Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a near-infrared absorption film having excellent near-infrared blocking properties and visible light transparency over a wide wavelength range, and attractive appearance. It further aims to provide a near-infrared absorption film having excellent near-infrared blocking properties, visible light transparency, good appearance and excellent durability such as anti-deterioration properties. The film may comprise a transparent substrate, and a near-infrared absorption layer containing a cyanine compound represented by the formula (1), and a diimonium compound. wherein, in the formula (1), A is a divalent bonding group comprising ethylene. R1 and R2 are monovalent groups comprising a carbon atom. X− is a monovalent anion. The film may also comprise a transparent substrate, and a near-infrared absorption layer containing a layer containing the cyanine compound represented by the formula (1) and a layer containing a diimonium compound.
