NOVELTY - Layered article comprises a substrate and a particle layer laminated on the substrate, where the particle layer is a layer formed by applying a particle dispersion liquid to the substrate, the particle dispersion liquid comprising first silicon oxide particles composed of branched rod shaped particles and a dispersion medium, and then removing the dispersion medium from the applied particle dispersion liquid.    USE - The layered article is useful: as signboard for outdoor (claimed) including road signs; and as covering materials for agricultural houses, cattle houses, simple warehouses, garages, all-weather sport facilities, residences, warehouses, buildings, transport instruments, bridges, road/railroad-related facilities, overhead power transmission facilities, solar panels, and ceramic materials for building, e.g. roof tiles, slates, and tiles.    ADVANTAGE - The layered article exhibits good snow sliding and antifouling property, and has good durability, easy applicability and excellent flexibility.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Layered article comprises a substrate and a particle layer laminated on the substrate, where the particle layer is a layer formed by applying a particle dispersion liquid to the substrate, the particle dispersion liquid comprising first silicon oxide particles composed of branched rod shaped particles, each of the branched rod-shaped particles having a diameter of 3-50 nm and the branched rod-shaped particles having an average particle diameter of 30-500 nm, second silicon oxide particles having an average particle diameter of 1-20 nm, third silicon oxide particles having an average particle diameter of greater than 20 nm, and a dispersion medium, where the content of the first silicon oxide particles is 15-50 wt.%, the content of the second silicon oxide particles is 15-50 wt.%, and the content of the third silicon oxide particles is 35-70 wt.%, where the total amount of the first, second and third silicon oxide particles is 100 wt.%, and then removing the dispersion medium from the applied particle dispersion liquid. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a solar panel having a light receiving surface, where the light receiving surface is composed of the layered article with the particle layer exposed to the outside of the solar panel.
