Abstract: A method for producing an anti-glare film includes applying a coating composition including at least a resin, a solvent, and fine particles to a substrate; drying the coating composition applied to the substrate so that a Benard cell structure is formed in the surface of the coating layer due to convection caused during volatilization of the solvent; and curing the resin contained in the coating composition having formed therein a Benard cell structure to form an anti-glare layer having fine irregularities with a moderate surface waviness. The anti-glare layer has a degree of white muddiness of 1.7 or less, as measured by quantitatively determining a diffuse reflection component of the diffused light incident upon the surface of the anti-glare layer.
