Abstract
The present invention provides a glass article including a photocatalyst filmcontaining silicon oxide particlesand titanium oxide particles, and a glass sheet. Assuming that the photocatalyst filmhas a film thickness T, 80% or more of the titanium oxide particles are localized in a region between a surface of the glass sheetand a position spaced from the surface by 0.6 T toward a surface of the photocatalyst filmin a thickness direction of the photocatalyst film. The glass article has an increased transmittance provided by enhancing the reflection-reducing function of the photocatalyst filmwhile maintaining the film strength and photocatalytic function of the photocatalyst film.
