Patent ID: 7751121

Claim:
An anti-glare film, comprising: a substrate; and an anti-glare layer formed on the substrate, wherein the anti-glare layer has diffuser elements thereon, the diffuser elements on the anti-glare layer are formed by applying a coating composition including organic fine particles on the substrate and causing convection in the coating composition so that the fine particles are agglomerated in the in-plane direction, the fine particles have an average particle diameter ranging from 4 μm to 15 μm, the anti-glare layer has a dried film thickness ranging from 4 μm to 15 μm, and the fine particles are coated by the coating composition, the diffuser elements have an average space therebetween of 50 μm to 300 μm, wherein the anti-glare film has the following optical properties of: a full width of angle of 6.0° to 28.0° at the 1/100 reflected light intensity to a peak of a reflected light intensity, with respect to an incident light upon the surface having the plurality of diffuser elements thereon at an angle of 5° to 30° from the normal direction of the surface; and a gain of 0.02 or less of light reflected in the direction at 20° or more from the specular reflection direction of the incident light, the gain being obtained by normalizing a reflected light intensity using a specular reflection intensity of a standard diffuse plate as 1.
