Abstract: An antiglare film and an antiglare sheet with which an image display apparatus excelling in contrast while maintaining excellent antiglare performance is obtained, and a simple process for producing them are provided. In the antiglare film of the present invention, a rugged shape in a first direction is substantially different from a rugged shape in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Preferably, an average gradient angle ?a1 of the rugged shape in the first direction is larger than an average gradient angle ?a2 of the rugged shape in the second direction. More preferably, a difference ??a=?a1??a2 between the average gradient angle ?a1 and the average gradient angle ?a2 is 0.5° to 30°.

Abstract: A polarizing plate is provided that has high hardness, can have a reduced thickness, and has excellent in polarization properties. The polarizing plate includes a polarizer, an adhesive layer, and a cured resin layer. The adhesive layer is stacked on at least one surface of the polarizer. The cured resin layer is stacked on the surface of the adhesive layer located on the opposite side to the polarizer. The adhesive layer has a thickness in the range of 0.1 ?m to 10 ?m. The cured resin layer is formed of a solventless photocurable composition containing component (A) and component (B), with component (A) being at least one of a polyfunctional acrylic monomer and a polyfunctional methacrylic monomer and component (B) being a photocurable prepolymer.

Abstract: A flat panel display is provided that increases visibility without deteriorating the properties of flat panel displays such as LCDs with increased variation in definition or the like. Further, an antiglare film is provided that is used for the flat panel display. A flat panel display includes an antiglare film at a viewing side surface thereof. The flat panel display includes a black matrix pattern. An aperture ratio A (%) of the black matrix pattern, an average interval Sm (mm) between concaves and convexes of a surface of the antiglare film, and a haze H (%) satisfy a relationship of the following Formula (1), and the total haze value is 15 or less. A>(100Sm?0.142H+5.1)/0.

Abstract: It is the object of the present invention to provide a polarizing element capable of increasing a contrast ratio in an oblique direction and reducing a color shift in an oblique direction of a liquid crystal display apparatus. A polarizing element according to the present invention includes a polarizer, a negative C plate, a positive A plate, and a positive C plate each arranged on one side of the polarizer. The positive A plate is arranged between the polarizer and the positive C plate such that a slow axis of the positive A plate is substantially perpendicular to an absorption axis of the polarizer. The positive C plate has RthPC[590] of ?60 nm or less.
