To provide an
infrared radiation-absorbing material fine particle dispersion liquid and dispersion body which have
high transmittance for light in the visible light region and have
absorbance in the near-
infrared region, and which can be adjusted to a neutral color between blue and
bronze. Provided is an
infrared radiation-absorbing material fine particle dispersion liquid or dispersion body comprising infrared
radiation-absorbing material fine particles and
iron oxide (Fe2O3) fine particles in a liquid or
solid medium, wherein the infrared radiation-absorbing material fine particles are formed of composite
tungsten oxide fine particles which are represented by a general formula MYWOZ (where the element M is an element selected from Cs, Rb, K, Tl, In, and the like, W is
tungsten, 0.001≤Y≤1.0, and 2.2≤Z≤3.0), and which have a hexagonal
crystal structure, and a
mass ratio between the
iron oxide fine particles and the composite
tungsten oxide fine particles contained in the liquid or
solid medium [
iron oxide fine particles / composite
tungsten oxide fine particles] is 0.01 or more and 0.1 or less.
