摘要:
Objects are to provide an infrared-sensitive color developing composition which develops colors in a high density by means of infrared exposure and does not significantly discolor when aged, to provide a lithographic printing plate precursor which has extremely excellent plate-inspecting properties and favorable storage stability and is capable of maintaining favorable color-developing properties and a plate making method for a lithographic printing plate in which the lithographic printing plate precursor is used, and to provide a new compound that can be preferably used as an infrared-sensitive color developer. An infrared-sensitive color developing composition of the present invention includes a compound represented by Formula (1) (Component A). In addition, the compound in the present invention is represented by Formula (1).
