2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, in order to impart water repellency to the surface of an optical member such as glass, it is known that the surface of a substrate is covered with a polysiloxane or a polyfluoro compound. However, these compounds have a problem that adhesion strength to glass is small and durability and abrasion resistance are inferior. In order to supply a water-repellent member having high durability, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-205327 discloses that after coating a polysiloxane compound on the surface of a glass substrate, the polysiloxane compound is applied to the glass substrate by corona discharge or ultraviolet irradiation. Discloses a method of fixing to the surface of a.

However, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
The water-repellent member manufactured by the conventional method disclosed in JP-A-205327 does not have sufficient durability and abrasion resistance because an organic substance is used for the outermost layer. Also,
Since the application of the organic substance is performed by a method such as dip coating, precise control of the film thickness is difficult, and it is also difficult to obtain a uniform film thickness. For this reason, the water-repellent member according to the conventional method is used only for automobiles and building windows or mirrors that do not require high optical performance, and is used for camera lenses and the like that require precise optical performance. It was not suitable for use as an optical component. Further, in the conventional manufacturing method, a process of forming an anti-reflection film or the like in a vacuum chamber, taking out the film in the air, and forming an organic material thereon is necessary, which also has a problem that the process is complicated. .
