Abstract

This invention provides an anti-reflective component with good scratch resistance. The anti-reflective component 100 of this invention has a hard coating layer 20 and a low refractive index layer 30 sequentially formed on a substrate 10. The low refractive index layer 30 contains an adhesive component 31 and inorganic particles. The inorganic particles include hollow silica particles 32 and first solid particles 33. In the thickness direction of the low refractive index layer 30, the hollow silica particles 32 are concentrated in the hard coating layer 20. When the average particle size of the hollow silica particles 32 is defined as r and the average particle size of the first solid particles 33 is defined as R1, r < R1.
