Abstract

A light shielding component with low gloss, high blackness, and excellent processability is provided. A light shielding layer ( 3 ) containing black fine particles ( 32 ), low refractive index nanoparticles ( 33 ), and a resin composition ( 31 ) is formed on at least one surface of a substrate. The average particle size of the black fine particles ( 32 ) is set to be between 0.1 μm and 50 μm, and the average particle size of the low refractive index nanoparticles ( 33 ) is set to be between 1 nm and 200 nm. Porous carbon is preferred as the black fine particles ( 32 ), while magnesium fluoride particles and silicon oxide particles are preferred as the low-refractive-index nanoparticles ( 33 ).
