Abstract:
An imaging device, comprising: an infrared light absorption layer including a cyanine dye represented by Chemical Formula (A) below: wherein R1 and R2 are selected from the group consisting of: a chain alkyl group, a cyclic alkyl group, a phenyl group, and a benzyl group; wherein the chain alkyl group and the cyclic alkyl group including at least one group member selected from the group consisting of: 1) a first group having one or more hydrogen atoms in a first alkyl group substituted with at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of: a halogen atom, an alkoxy group, an alkanoloxy group, an amino group, a thiol group, and a mercapto group; 2) a second group having at least one reactive group selected from the group consisting of: a vinyl group, an acrylic group, a carbonyl group, a carboxyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkenyloxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, a nitrile group, a carboxyl group, a carbonyl group, a sulfonyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a carbamoyl group, a benzoyloxy group, and a cyano group, wherein the reactive group is any one of introduced at a terminal alkyl group of at least one of the chain alkyl group and the cyclic alkyl group and positioned two or more carbon atoms away from an indoline ring; 3) an unsubstituted chain alkyl group; and 4) an unsubstituted cyclic alkyl group; and wherein X− represents an anion.
