  • Patent number: 4962013
    Abstract: A photochromic material to be used for a photosensitive arrangement such as photosensitive laminated glass. The photochromic material is formed of a high polymer substrate material containing photochromic spirooxazine compound as expressed by the following general formula: ##STR1## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl group, alkenyl group, cycloalkyl group and aryl group; R.sup.4 is one selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom and alkyl group having the number of carbon atoms ranging from 1 to 5; rings X and Y are at least one selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbon aromatic ring and heterocyclic aromatic ring; and Z is one selected from the group consisting of oxygen atom and sulfur atom. Additionally, a triplet state quencher such as nitroxy free radical is contained in the high polymer substrate material, thereby suppressing generation of deterioration substance due to irreversible reaction of spirooxazine molecules.
