Abstract

A transparent heat-shielding/heat-insulating member having a transparent screen function of the present invention includes: an infrared reflective layer and an optical adjustment protective layer in this order from a transparent base substrate side; and a light diffusing layer on a surface of the transparent base substrate that is opposite to the surface on which the infrared reflective layer is formed or between the transparent base substrate and the infrared reflective layer. The optical adjustment protective layer includes at least a high refractive index layer and a low refractive index layer in this order from the infrared reflective layer side. The transparent heat-shielding/heat-insulating member has a visible light reflectance of 12% or more and 30% or less, a haze value of 5% or more and 35% or less, a shading coefficient of 0.69 or less, and a normal emissivity of 0.22 or less.
