A coating solution composition for forming a glass gel thin film (1), contains at least one material selected from the group consisting of a metal alkoxide and a polycondensate of the metal alkoxide, a coloring material (3), an alcohol solvent, and a dispersant having an adsorption power for the coloring material (3), soluble in the alcohol solvent, and having miscibility with the metal alkoxide, wherein the coloring material (3) has an average particle size of 3 nm to 300 nm. A glass gel thin film obtained by sintering this composition at a temperature of 100 to 300°C is excellent in water resistance, durability and has a high strength. |
