Abstract
The present invention relates to a low reflection member for use in image display devices such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display (PDP), a CRT, and an El. The low reflection member includes a transparent substrate and a low refractive index layer having a refractive index lower than that of the substrate. The low refractive index layer comprises a cured product of a mixture containing a hydrolyzable silane compound and/or hydrolyzed product thereof, and a cure-promoting component selected from phosphoric acids, sulfonic acids, and silicon dioxide flux. The low reflection member has a refractive index low enough to exhibit an anti-reflection effect, is fabricated at relatively low temperatures by solvent coating using common solvents, and has high adhesion and anti-scratching property.
