Patent ID: 7374822

Claim:
A near-infrared ray shielding paint comprising a first near-infrared ray-absorption coloring matter comprising at least one near-infrared ray-absorption diimonium compound constituted from a diimonium compound cation and a counter anion represented by the formula (1): (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 N − (1) second near-infrared ray-absorption coloring matter comprising at least one coloring matter compound having a maximum absorption in a near-infrared wavelength range of from 750 to 950 mn, exhibiting substantially no absorption in the visible ray wavelength range and different from the diimonium compound; and a transparent resin comprising a polymer of at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer; wherein the ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprises a monomer represented by the general formula (2): in which general formula (2), R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and X represents a cyclic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 25 carbon atoms, in a content of 30% by mass.
