With a colored composition of the related art, elution resistance within a practical range is not obtained. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a colored composition having better elution resistance (less dye elution) than that of the colored composition of the related art.

The present invention relates to a compound represented by the following general formula (1), a colored composition comprising the compound, and the like.

##STR00001##

{In the formula, Dye represents a dye residue, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, Y.sub.0 represents a single bond or the like, Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 each independently represent O or the like, A.sub.1 represents a specific alkylene group or the like, A.sub.2 represents an alkylene group which may have O in a chain and has a group represented by the following general formula (2) in the chain or on the terminal of the chain, and n represents 1 or 2;

##STR00002## (in the formula, R.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 are the same as described above, R.sub.3 represents a group represented by the following general formula (2-1) or the like, and A.sub.3 represents a specific alkylene group or the like;

##STR00003## [in the formula, R.sub.1, A.sub.3, and Y.sub.2 are the same as described above.].).}

An object of the invention is to provide a coloring composition with which a light absorption anisotropic film maintaining an excellent dichroic ratio and having good pressing resistance can be formed, and a light absorption anisotropic film, a laminate, and an image display device using the coloring composition. A coloring composition according to the invention contains: a polymer compound having a repeating unit including a crosslinkable group and a mesogenic group in the same side chain, or a polymer compound separately having a repeating unit including a crosslinkable group in a side chain and a repeating unit including a mesogenic group in a side chain; and a dichroic dye compound.

Color conversion films for a LCD (liquid crystal display) having RGB (red, green, blue) color filters, as well as such displays, formulations, precursors and methods are provided, which improve display performances with respect to color gamut, energy efficiency, materials and costs. The color conversion films absorb backlight illumination and convert the energy to green and/or red emission at high efficiency, specified wavelength ranges and narrow emission peaks. Film integration and display configurations further enhance the display performance with color conversion films utilizing various color conversion elements and possibly patterned and/or integrated with a crosstalk blocking matrix. For example, color conversion and/or assistant dyes may be used to enhance spectral regions transmitted through the color filters and shape the illumination spectrum, to improve efficiency and performance.
