Abstract

The present invention relates to a hard coating film including a substrate and a hard coating layer provided on at least one surface of the substrate, in which the hard coating layer includes a fluorine-based UV-curable-functional-group-containing compound, a conductive polymer, and a solvent, the conductive polymer being included in a specific amount, and the surface roughness (Ra) value of the hard coating layer is 1 nm or less, whereby the hard coating film can simultaneously exhibit hard coating performance and antifouling performance even in the form of a single layer not including a separate antifouling layer, and is remarkably improved in an antifouling effect based on the low surface roughness thereof due to the absence of inorganic fine particles, and the improved antifouling effect can be effectively maintained even in the presence of variously changing environmental conditions, and to a window and an image display device using the same.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hard coating film, comprising:
a substrate; and
a hard coating layer provided on at least one surface of the substrate,
wherein the hard coating layer is formed from a hard coating composition comprising a fluorine-based UV-curable-functional-group-containing compound, a conductive polymer and a solvent,
wherein a solid content of the conductive polymer is 0.05 to 5 wt % based on a total of 100 wt % of a solid content of the hard coating composition,
wherein the hard coating layer does not comprise inorganic particles,
wherein a surface resistance value when a voltage of 500 V is applied to a surface of the hard coating layer is 1E+8Ω/□ to 1E+12Ω/□,
wherein a surface roughness (Ra) value of the hard coating layer, measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) (Measurement conditions: non-contact mode, scan size: 1 μm×1 μm, scan rate: 1.0 Hz), is 1 nm or less,
wherein the inorganic particles are at least one selected from a group consisting of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, ZrO 2 , BaTiO 3 , TiO 2 , Ta 2 O 5 , Ti 3 O 5 , ITO, IZO, ATO, ZnO—Al, Nb 2 O 3 , SnO, SnO 2 , MgO, and Sb 2 O 5 , and
wherein a water contact angle, measured after a surface of the hard coating layer of the hard coating film is rubbed and worn 3000 times under a load of 1 kg using an eraser for wear resistance testing, is 95° or more.

2. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein the hard coating composition further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a light-transmissive resin, a photoinitiator, and an additive.

3. The hard coating film of claim 2 , wherein the light-transmissive resin comprises dendritic acrylate.

4. The hard coating film of claim 3 , wherein a solid content of the dendritic acrylate is 3 to 90 wt % based on a total of 100 wt % of a solid content of the hard coating composition.

5. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein the conductive polymer is a thiophene-based polymer.

6. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein a solid content of the fluorine-based UV-curable-functional-group-containing compound is 0.01 to 10 wt % based on a total of 100 wt % of the solid content of the hard coating composition.

7. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein the water contact angle, measured after ethanol is dropped on a surface of the hard coating layer and then the surface of the hard coating layer is rubbed 3000 times under a load of 1 kg using an eraser for wear resistance testing, is 95° or more.

8. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein a surface resistance value when a voltage of 500 V is applied to a surface of the hard coating layer after the hard coating film is allowed to stand under conditions of a temperature of 85° C. and a humidity of 85% for 15 days is 1E+8Ω/□ to 5E+12Ω/□.

9. A window comprising the hard coating film according to claim 1 .
