An oxime ester compound of formula (I) useful as a photopolymerization initiator. A photopolymerization initiator having the oxime ester compound as an active ingredient is activated through efficient absorption of light of long wavelength, e.g., 405 nm or 365 nm, to exhibit high sensitivity. In formula (I), R 1 and R 2 are each R 11 , OR 11 , COR 11 , SR 11 , CONR 12 R 13 , or CN; R 11 , R 12 , and R 13 are each hydrogen, a C1-C20 alkyl group, C6-C30 aryl group, a C7-C30 arylalkyl group, or a C2-C20 heterocyclic group; R 3 and R 4 are each R 11 , OR 11 , SR 11 , COR 11 , CONR 12 R 13 , NR 12 COR 11 , OCOR 11 , COOR 11 , SCOR 11 , OCSR 11 , COSR 11 , CSOR 11 , CN, halogen, or a hydroxyl group; a and b is each 0 to 4; X is oxygen, sulfur, selenium, CR 31 R 32 , CO, NR 33 , or PR 34 ; and R 31 , R 32 , R 33 , and R 34 each have the same meaning as R 1 .
