Patent ID: 8003206

Claim:
An optical laminate comprising: a light transparent base material; and an antistatic layer and a hardcoat layer provided in that order on said light transparent base material; wherein said antistatic layer comprises a composition for an antistatic layer comprising an organic electrically conductive composition as an antistatic agent, a resin and a penetrative solvent provided on said light transparent base material; wherein said hardcoat layer comprises a composition for a hardcoat layer comprising a resin and a penetrative solvent provided on said antistatic layer; wherein said organic electrically conductive composition comprises a polymer selected from the group consisting of aliphatic conjugated polyacetylenes, aromatic conjugated poly(paraphenylenes), heterocyclic conjugated polypyrroles, polythiophene, heteroatom-containing conjugated polyanilines, mixed type conjugated poly(phenylenevinylenes), double-chain conjugated systems which are conjugated systems having a plurality of conjugated chains in the molecule thereof, and electrically conductive composites which are polymers prepared by grafting or block-copolymerizing the conjugated polymer chain onto a saturated polymer; wherein said polymer in said organic electrically conductive composition is dispersed in said light transparent base material, whereby substantially no interface is present between said antistatic layer and said light transparent base material; and wherein said antistatic layer is a heterogeneous film having microcracks formed therein, and substantially no interface is present between said antistatic layer and said hardcoat layer.
