To provide a compound which can be used to form a polarizing film with a high dichroic ratio.SOLUTION: A compound represented by a formula (1) below is provided. P represents a
single bond, -O-, -OC(=O)-, or -C(=O)O-. x and y represent 0, 1 or 2, and satisfies x+y≥1 if P is a
single bond. n represents 1 or 2. R1 represents methylamino, ethylamino, dimethylamino, diethylamino, ethylmethylamino, pyrrolidyl, oxazolidyl, piperidyl, morpholyl, methoxy or ethoxy, and may be substituted with a polymerizable group. R2 and R3 respectively represent methyl or ethyl. Q represents a
single bond, -OC(=O)-, -C(=O)O-, -C≡C-, -CH=CH-, -N=N-, -NHC(=O)-, or -C(=O)NH-. Ar1 and Ar3 represent 1,4-
phenylene or a
sulfur-containing aromatic heterocyclic group that may be substituted. Ar2 represents 1,4-
phenylene that may be substituted.SELECTED DRAWING: None
