Abstract:
A hard coat film comprising:a plastic base film having a pencil hardness from 4B to HB; a buffer layer composed of one or a plurality of layers with a total thickness of 3-50 &mgr;m formed on at least one side of said plastic base film, said buffer layer having a pencil hardness that is intermediate between the pencil hardness of said plastic base film and the pencil hardness of a hard coat layer; and a hard coat layer with a thickness of 3-15 &mgr;m and a pencil hardness from 3H to 5H, the buffer layer being formed by coating the plastic bass film with a curing resin composition comprising an ionizing radiation curing resin or a thermosetting resin and curing the thus-coated curing composition, and the hard coat film being designed such that the respective pencil hardness of said plastic base film, buffer layer and hard coat layer have increasing values in that order, in such a manner that the hard coat film as a whole has a pencil hardness of from 4H to 8H.
