Patent ID: 8389049

Claim:
A method for producing an optical film that includes a transparent support and an optical functional layer as the outermost layer of the optical film, the method comprising: applying a curable composition directly or indirectly on the transparent support, the curable composition containing low refractive index fine particles having a refractive index of not more than 1.45, high refractive index fine particles having a refractive index of 1.55 or more, and a fluorine-containing compound: and curing the curable composition to form the optical functional layer having a thickness of 50 nm or more and not more than 250 nm, wherein in the optical functional layer, the low refractive index fine particles are arranged substantially in a line on the outermost surface of the optical functional layer on the opposite side of the transparent support; and the high refractive index fine particles are unevenly distributed in a lower pan of the optical functional layer on the side of the transparent support.
