wherein each D is independently a chromophoric unit; each L is independently absent or is a linking group comprising no more than 10 atoms in length as measured in the shortest path from D to A; A is a bridging group; and n is an integer in the range of 1 to 3.

An anthraquinone compound which is suitable for forming a color filter used for a liquid crystal display device, a composition containing a resin and the anthraquinone compound, an article having a polymer layer formed from the composition and a color filter formed from the composition are developed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a thermal transfer recording sheet that enables images having a wide color gamut, a high chroma, and good lightfastness, in which the degree of catalytic fading is reduced, to be formed. The thermal transfer recording sheet includes a base material and a colorant layer on the base material. The colorant layer includes a yellow dye layer, a magenta dye layer, and a cyan dye layer. The dye layers each include, as a dye, a compound having a specific structure.
