TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Layer: The ultraviolet ray reflection layer has alternate lamination of 3 or more layers, in which low refractive index film layer has thickness of 5-1000 nm and refractive index of 1.4-1.8, and high refractive index film layer has thickness of 5-400 nm and refractive index of 1.8-2.4. The low refractive index film layer contains oxide or nitro-oxide of silicon or aluminum. The high refractive index film layer contains oxide, nitro-oxide or nitride of zinc, titanium, tin, indium, niobium, silicon, tantalum or aluminum. The reflection layer is formed by supplying a gas containing thin film formation gas and discharge gas to discharge space under atmospheric pressure or pressure of vicinity. The gas is excited by forming high frequency electric field in discharge space. The discharge gas is nitrogen gas. The high frequency electric field applied to discharge space superimposes primary high frequency electric field and secondary high frequency electric field having frequency more than that of primary electric field. The power density of secondary high frequency electric field is 1 W/cm2 or more. The weather-resistant article further has water vapor barrier layer having metal oxide layer(s) containing oxide, nitro-oxide or nitride of silicon or aluminum. The barrier layer is formed by the method used for forming reflection layer, and is used as low refractive index film layer(s) of reflection layer. Preferred Properties: The weather-resistant article has visible light transmittance of 75% or more and haze of 1.5% or less.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Compound: The optical stabilizer is ultraviolet absorber.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Material: The base material is a transparent base material containing resin chosen from polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate. Preferred Layer: The polymer layer contains photocurable or thermosetting resin as main component.
