a surface on a dielectric multilayer film side has a nanoindentation hardness of 5.5 GPa or higher when a measurement load is 1 mN,
a maximum transmittance at an incident angle of 0° in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 680 nm is 6% or lower,
a maximum reflectance at an incident angle of 5° in the wavelength range of 400 nm to 680 nm is 20% or lower, and
an average transmittance at an incident angle of 0° in at least one wavelength range having a width of 50 nm included in a wavelength range of 800 nm to 1,580 nm is 90% or higher.
