  • Patent number: 6572961
    Abstract: A transparent hard coat film includes a transparent polymer film and one or more transparent hard coat layers including at least an ionizing radiation curable resin and two or more kinds of inorganic particles having different average diameters. The transparent hard coat film prevents glare of a color screen when it is placed on a high definition color display. It also prevents glare caused by external light without causing blurring of the screen images due to degradation of transparency and improves visibility of the display.

  • Patent number: 6495253
    Abstract: An adhesive layer composed of at least an ionizing radiation curable resin binder, a thermoplastic resin binder and two or more matting agents having different average diameters is formed on a transparent polymer film to obtain a support film for a transparent conductive thin film. Alternatively, a transparent hard coat layer containing at least an ionizing radiation curable resin binder and,a matting agent having an average diameter of 1-15 &mgr;m, and an adhesive layer containing at least an ionizing radiation curable resin binder, a thermoplastic resin binder and a matting agent having an average diameter of 5-50 nm are formed on a transparent polymer film. The thus obtained support film is excellent in durability when the transparent conductive thin film is formed thereon and prevents occurrence of a Newton-ring, which is produced in a touch panel of the conventional liquid crystal display.
