Publication number: 20150285972Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat-ray-shielding sheet that includes, on a support, a heat-ray-shielding layer including heat-shielding microparticles and a resin binder filling a void part. The microparticles are made of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) or the like and have an average particle diameter of equal to or less than 100 nm, the reflectance in the heat-ray-shielding layer at a wavelength of at least 2,000 nm is at least 15%, and the surface resistivity in the heat-ray-shielding layer is equal to or more than 106?/?. Increasing the surface resistivity imparts a radio-wave-transmitting property, and causing longer-wavelength near-infrared light to be reflected boosts heat-ray-shielding efficiency while preventing thermal cracking and the like of a glass substrate. Additionally compounding the heat-ray-shielding layer with a near-infrared-absorbing dye, or disposing a reflecting layer in addition to the heat-ray-shielding layer allows the heat-ray shielding effect to be further improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2013Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Yukihiro Hara, Takahiro Higeta, Michiharu Arifuku, Shoko Saito, Noriko Kiyoyanagi
