Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to an infrared absorbent comprising a metal complex. With the use of the infrared absorbent, there is provided an infrared absorbing material capable of absorbing near infrared light having a wavelength of 700-1500 nm or far infrared light with a high transmittance of visible light and a good fastness to heat and light. The infrared absorbent is suitable for various applications such as a safelight filter for infrared sensitive materials, control of growth of plants, cut-off of heat radiation, infrared cut filter harmful to tissues of human eyes, infrared cut filter for semiconductor light receiving elements or color solid image pick-up elements, and infrared cut filter for an optoelectronic integrated circuit wherein electrical and optical elements are incorporated in the same substrate.
