  • Publication number: 20240142670
    Abstract: An anti-glare film is prepared which have a ratio R/V of a scattered specular reflection intensity R to a total V of scattered reflection intensity being from 0.01 to 0.12 and an absolute value of a chromaticity b* of transmitted light being 3 or less. The anti-glare film includes a transparent substrate layer, and an anti-glare layer formed on at least one surface of the transparent substrate layer. The anti-glare layer may be a cured product of a curable composition including one or more types of a polymer component and one or more types of a curable resin precursor component, and in particular, at least two components selected from a polymer component and a curable resin precursor component can be phase separated through liquid phase spinodal decomposition. This anti-glare film can achieve non-coloring properties and anti-glare properties in a compatible manner.

  • Publication number: 20240103206
    Abstract: An anti-glare film is attached on a surface of a display, and includes an anti-glare layer. The anti-glare layer is set to have a sparkle value falling within a range from 6 to 10, which is defined based on a value of a standard deviation of luminance distribution of the display under a state in which the anti-glare film is attached on the surface of the display, a value of specular gloss of 30% or less, which is measured with 60-degree specular gloss, a value of transmission image clarity of 60% or less, which has an optical comb of 0.5 mm, and a haze value of 50% or less. Consequently, satisfactory anti-glare property can be provided while appropriately suppressing sparkle on the display.
