Abstract

To provide a novel arylamine compound with a low refractive index. The provided arylamine compound includes at least one aromatic group. The aromatic group includes a first benzene ring, a second benzene ring, a third benzene ring, and at least three alkyl groups. The first benzene ring, the second benzene ring, and the third benzene ring are directly bonded in this order. The first benzene ring is bonded to nitrogen of amine. The first benzene ring may further include a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group. The second benzene ring or the third benzene ring may further include an alkylated phenyl group. Each of first positions and third positions of two or more of the first to third benzene rings is independently bonded to another benzene ring, a benzene ring of the alkylated phenyl group, any of the at least three alkyl groups, or the nitrogen of the amine.
