An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal composition capable of forming a light absorption anisotropic film having excellent light resistance, a dichroic substance, a light absorption anisotropic film, a laminate, and an image display device. The liquid crystal composition of this invention contains a liquid crystalline compound and the dichroic substance which has a structure represented by Formula (1). In the formula, Ar 1 to Ar 3 are aromatic hydrocarbon group or heterocyclic group, R 1 to R 3 are monovalent substituents, k is 1 or 2, n1 to n3 are integers from 0 to 4, and when k=1, n1 In the case of +n2+n3≥0, k=2, n1+n2+n3≥1, m1 and m2 are 0 or 1, m1+m2 is 1 or 2, R 4 and R 5 are aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, aromatic hydrocarbons A hydrogen group or a heterocyclic group, in the case of m1=0, L 1 is a monovalent substituent, in the case of m1=1, L 1 is a divalent linking group, in the case of m2=0, L 2 is a monovalent substituent, in the case of m2=1 L 2 represents a divalent linking group. |
