To provide a highly transparent and highly strong protective plate for display panel which, when mounted on a display panel, does not permit bubbles to evolve in the inner layer or does not permit the layer to peel off even in high temperature and
high humidity conditions that could temporarily occur, for example, in an automobile, and a
display device equipped with the protective plate.[Means for Solution] A transparent protective plate for display panel having an underlying layer, a gas-
barrier layer and, as required, a transparent
adhesive layer of an
acrylic adhesive successively laminated on a transparent hard resin substrate such as of a
polymethyl methacrylate resin or an aromatic
polycarbonate resin, wherein the underlying layer comprises a cured body obtained by polymerizing an underlying material solution that contains 90 to 20 parts by
mass of an
urethane acrylate adhesive resin (A), and 10 to 80 parts by
mass of a
silicon compound (B) selected from the group consisting of an alkoxysilane compound and a hydrolyzed product thereof, a
silane coupling agent and a hydrolyzed product thereof, and a
fine particulate silica; and the gas-
barrier layer comprises a cured body of a dense
silicon oxide obtained by curing a
polysilazane compound (C) in the presence of an amine catalyst (D).
