<Effects of the Invention> The present invention is composed of the above-mentioned compound, and this compound has good reversibility between the cation radical, which is assumed to be a coloring species, and the corresponding neutral molecule, so that it can be easily removed from the radical state. The reaction of changing into a compound is reduced, and the property of repeating coloring and decoloring to a specific color, that is, stable durability, is obtained. In contrast, the compound shown in the present invention does not absorb in the visible region in a non-coloring state and can electrochemically generate colored species. It has the excellent feature of not having so-called background coloration because it only develops color when it is exposed to sunlight.
