Abstract: This zirconium-containing nitride powder has a composition represented by the following General Formula (I). (Zr, X, Y) (N, O) . . . (I). In General Formula (I), X represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Dy, Er, Gd, Ho, Lu, Nd, Pr, Sc, Sm, Tb, and Tm, Y represents an element symbol of yttrium, an amount of Y is 0 mol or greater with respect to 1 mol of a total amount of Zr, X, and Y, N represents nitrogen, O represents oxygen, and an amount of oxygen is 0 mol or greater with respect to 1 mol of a total amount of nitrogen and oxygen.

Abstract: A black material of the present invention consists of a zirconium nitride powder containing yttrium. The amount of the yttrium is 1.0% by mass to 12.0% by mass with respect to a total 100% by mass of the zirconium nitride powder and the yttrium. In a transmission spectrum obtained from a dispersion in which the concentration of the zirconium nitride powder containing yttrium is 50 ppm, assuming that the light transmittance at a wavelength of 550 nm is denoted by X1, and the light transmittance at a wavelength of 365 nm is denoted by X2, X1 is 7.5% or less, X2 is 25% or more, and X2/X1 is 3.5 or more.
