To provide a laminate which is excellent in heat-ray shielding properties, transparency, and weatherability and is suitable for use in laminated glass; and an optical filter for display which has excellent near-infrared shielding properties and is excellent in transparency, weatherability, and display performance.
The laminate comprises two substrates and an intermediate layer sandwiched therebetween and bonded and united thereto, wherein a heat-ray shielding layer, a plastic film, and an intermediate layer have been interposed between the intermediate layer and the substrate. The heat-ray shielding layer comprises tungsten oxide and/or composite tungsten oxide, and the intermediate layer comprises a compound showing maximum absorption in the wavelength region of 200-500 nm. The optical filter for displays comprises a near-infrared shielding layer containing tungsten oxide and/or composite tungsten oxide and at least one other functional layer containing a compound showing maximum absorption in the wavelength region of 200-500 nm.
