Claim Text:
1. A method of manufacturing a new mold plate for manufacturing anti-reflection articles that each comprise a transparent base with an anti-reflection surface formed from a cured resin on a surface of the transparent base, the method comprising: (i) manufacturing a first plurality of the anti-reflection articles using an existing mold plate; (ii) pressure-contacting a surface of a receptive layer that includes a curable base with the anti-reflection surface of an individual anti-reflection article of the first plurality of anti-reflection articles to mold an uneven shape on the surface of the receptive layer; and (iii) curing the curable base of the receptive layer on which the uneven shape is molded to obtain the new mold plate for manufacturing a second plurality of the anti-reflection articles, wherein the uneven shape of the new mold plate mirrors the anti-reflection surface of the individual anti-reflection article, which includes at least one of minute convex portions or minute concave portions that are densely arranged such that gaps between adjacent portions are as short or shorter than a shortest wavelength of a wavelength band for anti-reflection.
