Abstract: The present invention provides a black photosensitive composition which has excellent residue suppressibility in a case where a pattern is formed and which makes it possible to form a pattern having excellent adhesiveness with a smaller exposure amount, a production method for a black photosensitive composition, a cured film, a color filter, a light shielding film, an optical element, a solid-state imaging element, and a headlight unit. The black photosensitive composition according to the present invention is a black photosensitive composition containing a black pigment, a resin, a carboxylic acid anhydride, and a polymerizable compound, in which the carboxylic acid anhydride has a molecular weight of 50 to 550, the carboxylic acid anhydride has a content of 0.30% to 10.0% by mass with respect to a total solid content of the black photosensitive composition, and the black pigment has an average particle diameter of 250 nm or less.

Abstract: There are provided a coloring composition, which makes it possible to form a cured film having a high color value and excellent adhesiveness to a base material, and provided a cured film, a light shielding film, a color filter, an optical element, a solid-state imaging element, an infrared sensor, and a headlight unit. The coloring composition according to the present invention contains a pigment, a solvent, and a resin having a constitutional unit A having a polymerizable group, a constitutional unit B having a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a constitutional unit C having an acidic group, where a content of the pigment is 15% by mass or more with respect to a total solid content.

Abstract: A composition includes a pigment, a pigment derivative which has at least one group selected from the group consisting of groups represented Formula (2): -L-NH—R2, and the like, a dispersant which has a constitutional unit having an adsorbing group and a constitutional unit having a steric repulsive group, and is a random copolymer or an alternating copolymer, and a solvent. In Formula (2), L represents —CO—, —SO2—, or —PO(R21)—, R21 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 or more carbon atoms, R2 represents —COR22, —SO2R22, or —PO(R22)2, and R22's each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 or more carbon atoms.
