Abstract

It is the object of the present invention to provide a hollow resin particle and an organic-inorganic hybrid particle, which have excellent dispersibility in a binder component and prevent the diffuse reflection of light and can attain an antireflection layer having high alkali resistance when used as a particle constituting an antireflection layer having a low refractive index, and a method of producing the hollow resin particle.
