Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the optical body excellent in chemical stability and wear resistance by using a tantalum oxide film as the outermost layer on the air side in the optical body obtained by forming >=2 layers of optical thin film on a substrate. CONSTITUTION:The optical body consists of the substrate 1 of transparent or colored glass, plastics, etc., a first layer 2 formed thereon and made of the film of metal, nitride, carbide, oxide, or their composite, and the tantalum oxide layer 3 formed thereon. Alternatively, the optical body is formed with a substrate 10 similar to the substrate 1, a first layer 11 of a transparent dielectric film, a second layer 12 of a nitride film, and a third layer 13 of a tantalum oxide film. Since the optical body has the tantalum oxide film excellent in scratch resistance and having sufficient chemical resistance as the outermost layer on the air side, the wear resistance and chemical stability are improved.
