NOVELTY - The composite structure (4a) has a metal base layer that is formed from a plastically deformable solid material (2) such as resin. An inorganic particle layer adjacent to the base layer is formed from inorganic particles (1) including inorganic laminar compounds and silica that are not plastically deformed under the conditions under which the solid material is plastically deformed. The inorganic particle layer has gaps defined by the inorganic particles and filled with plastically deformable solid material.    USE - Film-form inorganic particle composite structure used for front board of display e.g. flat panel display of portable apparatus such as mobile telephone. Can also be used in antistatic film, conductive film, transparent conductive film, and electromagnetic wave shield film, magnetic film, reflective film, ultraviolet-blocking film, light-diffusion film, antireflection film, anti-glare film, hard-coat film, polarizing film, retardation film, contamination prevention film, fog prevention film, agricultural film, awning, marking film, decorative sheet, surface decorative sheet for insert molding, gas barrier film, thermally-conductive film, heat dissipation film, heat-ray blocking film, antimicrobial film, and catalyst-carrier film, water-repellent film, glass adhesive film, easy-cutting film, base film for lamination, base film for extrusion lamination, capacitor electrode film, electrode film of secondary battery, electrode film of fuel cell, solar cell, film for solar cell sealing, and in resin molding material applications such as resin-made optical lenses, tire, automotive interior material, bumper material for motor vehicles, as additive for resin, and in optical information media such as reproduction-only optical disk, optical recording disk, and magneto-optical-recording disk, and in display screen of personal computer, and flexible display, electronic paper, display medium of contact-lens etc.    ADVANTAGE - The inorganic particle composite structure in which brittleness and the ease of peeling are reduced can be obtained, while maintaining the surface hardness derived from inorganic particle.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for method for producing inorganic particle composite structure.
