Abstract

A hard coating film comprising a base layer including: a polymer binder resin; first inorganic particles dispersed in the polymer binder resin and having an average particle size of 5 nm or more and less than 70 nm; and second inorganic particles which are dispersed in the polymer binder resin and have an average particle size of 70 nm to 150 nm is provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hard coating film comprising a hard coating base layer, the hard coating base layer including:
a polymer binder resin;
first inorganic particles dispersed in the polymer binder resin and having an average particle size of 5 nm or more and less than 70 nm; and
second inorganic particles dispersed in the polymer binder resin and having an average particle size of 70 nm to 150 nm,
wherein a content of the first inorganic particles is 1% by weight to 4% by weight with respect to 100% by weight of the hard coating base layer,
wherein a content of the second inorganic particles having an average particle size of 70 nm to 150 nm is 4% by weight to 12% by weight with respect to 100% by weight of the hard coating base layer,
wherein an average value of a distance between one surface of the hard coating base layer and the center of each of the second inorganic particles in a direction perpendicular to the one surface of the hard coating base layer is 35 nm to 5.0 μm, and the second inorganic particles are adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction with respect to the one surface of the hard coating base layer and spaced apart by an average value of a distance of 0.1 μm to 1.5 μm, the distance being determined as an average of the distance between centers of one second inorganic particle and an adjacent second inorganic particle,
wherein the second inorganic particles are dispersed in the polymer binder resin with no agglomeration,
wherein the first inorganic particles and the second inorganic particles each consist of the same one or more reactive functional group on a surface thereof, and
wherein the reactive functional group forms a crosslinking bond with the polymer binder resin.

2. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein the second inorganic particles are present inside the hard coating film.

3. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein the reactive functional group is selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylate group, an epoxide group, a vinyl group, and a thiol group.

4. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein the reactive functional group is a silane compound or a hydroxide compound, each including one or more reactive functional groups selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylate group, an epoxide group, a vinyl group, and a thiol group.

5. The hard coating film of claim 1 , further comprising a fluorine-based compound including a reactive functional group, the reactive functional group forming a crosslinking bond with the polymer binder resin.

6. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein the first inorganic particles and the second inorganic particles are one or more selected from the group consisting of silica and a metal oxide.

7. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein at least one surface of the hard coating base layer has at least two unevennesses, and the unevennesses have a height of 1 nm to 50 nm.

8. The hard coating film of claim 7 , wherein an average distance between the unevennesses is 0.1 μm to 1.5 μm.

9. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the hard coating base layer is 500 nm to 30 μm.

10. The hard coating film of claim 1 , wherein in a graph of measurement of static and kinetic friction forces with a TAC(triacetyl cellulose) film measured using a Friction Tester, by:
applying a sled bearing a load of 400 g to a surface of the hard coating film,
pulling the sled at a test speed of 18 cm/min for a test distance of 10 cm,
measuring the static and kinetic friction forces, and, using the measurements in the section from 3 cm to 10 cm on the graph, determining an average friction force, a maximum friction force, and a minimum friction force, and
determining a maximum amplitude (A) as a maximum value of the absolute values of difference between the average friction force and a maximum friction force and the difference between the average friction force and a minimum friction force,
wherein the maximum amplitude (A) measured in the section from 3 cm to 10 cm on the graph is 0.15 or less.
