Provided are an infrared absorbing composition which is used for forming an infrared cut filter in a solid image pickup element having the infrared cut filter, a pattern forming method using the infrared absorbing composition, an infrared cut filter which is formed by curing the infrared absorbing composition, and a laminate and an solid image pickup element including the infrared cut filter. The infrared absorbing composition includes at least one infrared absorber having an absorption maximum at a wavelength of 650 nm or longer which is selected from polymethine colorants. |
