Patent ID: 11577958

Abstract:
A zirconium nitride powder which has a specific surface area of 20 to 90 m2/g as measured by a BET method, has a peak corresponding to zirconium nitride but does not have a peak corresponding to zirconium dioxide, a peak for lower zirconium oxide or a peak corresponding to lower zirconium oxynitride in an X-ray diffraction profile, and the light transmittance X at 370 nm is at least 18%, the light transmittance Y at 550 nm is 12% or less and the ratio (X/Y) of the light transmittance X at 370 nm to the light transmittance Y at 550 nm is 2.5 or more in the transmission spectra of a dispersion that contains the powder at a concentration of 50 ppm.
