A photoelectric conversion device using a semiconductor fine material such as a semiconductor fine particle sensitized with a dye carried thereon, characterized in that the dye is a methine type dye having a specific partial structure, for example, a methine type dye having a specific carboxyl-substituted hetero ring on one side of a methine group and an aromatic residue substituted with a dialkylamino group or an organic metal complex residue on the other side of the methine group, or a methine type dye having a carboxyl-substituted aromatic ring on one side of a methine group and a heteroaromatic ring having a dialkylamino group or an organic metal complex residue on the otherside of the methine group; and a solar cell using the photoelectric conversion element. The photoelectric conversion element exhibits a conversion efficiency comparable or superior to that of a conventionally known photoelectric conversion element sensitized with a methine type dye.

To provide a polarizing element and a polarizing plate which have improved optical characteristics and durability. A polarizing element which is characterized by being formed of a stretched polyvinyl alcohol resin film that adsorbs, as a free acid, at least one dichroic dye that is a compound represented by formula (I) or a salt thereof and which is also characterized in that the polyvinyl alcohol resin has a polymerization degree of from 5,000 to 10,000. (In the formula, A represents a substituted phenyl group or a naphthyl group; each of R1-R6 independently represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a lower alkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a sulfo group or a lower alkoxy group having a sulfo group; X represents an optionally substituted amino group, an optionally substituted benzoylamino group, an optionally substituted phenylamino group, an optionally substituted phenylazo group or an optionally substituted naphthotriazole group; and m represents 0 or 1.)
