The present invention provides a dye which exhibits excellent solubility and heat resistance and a compound suitable for the dye, particularly, a yellow dye which exhibits a maximum absorption wavelength in the region of 420 to 470 nm. Further, the present invention provides a colored (alkali-developable) photosensitive composition using the dye, and an optical filter, particularly, a color filter which does not cause brightness deterioration and which is suitable for an image display device such as a liquid crystal display panel. Specifically, the present invention provides a compound represented by general formula (1), a dye using the compound, a colored (alkali-developable) photosensitive composition, and a color filter. In general formula (1), each symbol is as defined in the description. |
