Abstract

The present invention relates to an antireflection film including a low refractive index layer and a hard coating layer, the low refractive index layer including: a binder resin containing a crosslinked polymer of a photopolymerizable compound and a polysilsesquioxane substituted with one or more reactive functional groups; and inorganic fine particles dispersed in the binder resin, wherein a 10-point average roughness (Rz) of the shape of irregularities on the surface of the low refractive index layer is 0.05 μm to 0.2 μm.

2. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the 10-point average roughness (Rz) of the shape of irregularities on the surface of the low refractive index is a result measured using a non-contact surface measuring system of a 3D optical profiler.

3. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the portion derived from the polysilsesquioxane substituted with only one reactive functional group to the portion derived from the photopolymerizable compound in the binder resin contained in the low refractive index layer is 0.005 to 0.50.

4. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the reactive functional group substituted on the polysilsesquioxane is a functional group selected from the group consisting of an alcohol, an amine, a carboxylic acid, an epoxide, an imide, a (meth)acrylate, a nitrile, a. norbornene, an olefin, a polyethylene glycol, a thiol, and a vinyl group.

5. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the polysilsesquioxane substituted with only one reactive functional group includes a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane having a cage structure.

6. The antireflection film of claim 5 , wherein silicon atoms of the polyhedral oligomeric polysilsesquioxane are substituted with a reactive or unreactive functional group, and only one silicon atom of the polyhedral oligomeric polysilsesquioxane is substituted with the reactive functional group.

7. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the photopolymerizable compound includes a monomer or an oligomer containing a (meth)acrylate or vinyl group.

8. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the photoreactive functional group contained in the fluorine-based compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylate group, an epoxide group, a vinyl group, and a thiol group.

9. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-based compound containing the photoreactive functional group includes at least one selected from the group consisting of: i) an aliphatic compound or an aliphatic cyclic compound in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted and at least one fluorine is substituted on at least one carbon; ii) a heteroaliphatic compound or a heteroaliphatic cyclic compound in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted, at least one hydrogen is substituted with fluorine, and at least one carbon is substituted with silicon; iii) a polydialkylsiloxane-based polymer in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted and at least one fluorine is substituted on at least one silicon; and iv) a polyether compound in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted and at least one hydrogen is substituted with fluorine.

10. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-based compound containing the photoreactive functional group has a weight-average molecular weight of 2000 to 200,000.

11. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the low refractive index layer has a thickness of 1 nm to 200 nm, and the hard coating layer has a thickness of 0.1 μm to 100 μm.

12. The antireflection film of claim 1 , wherein the hard coating film comprises a binder resin containing a photopolymerizable resin and organic or inorganic fine particles dispersed in the binder resin wherein the organic fine particles have a particle diameter of 1 to 10 μm, and the inorganic particles have a particle diameter of 1 nm to 500 nm.
