Abstract

Provided is an anti-glare film that can suppress reflection and impart a sense of luxury by suppressing surface graininess. The anti-glare film includes a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface, in which when the average inclination angle with a cut-off value of 0.8 mm of the first main surface is defined as θa0.8 and the average inclination angle with a cut-off value of 2.5 mm of the first main surface is defined as θa2.5, the anti-glare film satisfies the following Equations (1) and (2).0.20 degrees≤θa0.8≤0.70 degrees  (1)|θa2.5−θa0.8|≤0.10 degrees  (2)

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An anti-glare film comprising:
a first main surface; and
a second main surface opposite to the first main surface,
wherein when a property of average inclination angle with a cut-off value of 0.8 mm of the first main surface is defined as θa 0.8 and the average inclination angle with a cut-off value of 2.5 mm of the first main surface is defined as θa 2.5 , the anti-glare film satisfies the following Equations (1) and (2):
0.20 degrees≤θ a 0.8 ≤0.70 degrees  (1)

|θ a 2.5 −θa 0.8 |≤0.10 degrees  (2).

2. The anti-glare film according to claim 1 , wherein when the average local peak-to-peak interval at a cut-off value of 0.8 mm of JIS B0601: 1994 on the first main surface is defined as S 0.8 and a property of average local peak-to-peak interval at a cut-off value of 2.5 mm of JIS B0601: 1994 on the first main surface is defined as S 2.5 , the anti-glare film satisfies the following Equation (3):
1.05≤ S 2.5 /S 0.8≤1.40   (3).

3. The anti-glare film according to claim 1 , wherein when a property of arithmetic average roughness at a cut-off value of 0.8 mm of JIS B0601: 1994 on the first main surface is defined as Ra 0.8 and the arithmetic average roughness at a cut-off value of 2.5 mm of JIS B0601: 1994 on the first main surface is defined as Ra 2.5 , the anti-glare film satisfies the following Equation (4):
1.03 ≤Ra 2.5 /Ra 0.8 ≤1.20  (4).

4. The anti-glare film according to claim 1 , wherein when a property of 20-degree specular glossiness and a property of 60-degree specular glossiness measured from the first main surface side in accordance with JIS Z8741: 1997 are defined as G 20 and G 60 , respectively, the anti-glare film satisfies the following Equation (5):
1.10≤ G 60 /G 20 ≤2.50  (5).

5. The anti-glare film according to claim 1 , comprising a resin layer on a transparent substrate, wherein the surface of the resin layer serves as the first main surface.

6. The anti-glare film according to claim 5 , wherein the transparent substrate has a thickness of 5 to 300 μm.

7. The anti-glare film according to claim 1 , wherein a total thickness is 7 to 310 μm.

8. A polarization plate comprising:
a polarizer;
a transparent protection plate A arranged on one side of the polarizer; and
a transparent protection plate B arranged on the other side of the polarizer,
wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of the transparent protection plate A and the transparent protection plate B is the anti-glare film according to claim 1 , and the anti-glare film is arranged so that the surface on the first main surface side faces the side opposite to the polarizer.

9. A surface plate for an image display device, comprising an anti-glare film attached to a resin plate or a glass plate, wherein the anti-glare film is the anti-glare film according to claim 1 , and the anti-glare film is arranged so that the surface on the first main surface side faces the side opposite to the resin plate or the glass plate.

10. An image display device comprising the anti-glare film according to claim 1 arranged on a display element such that the surface on the first main surface side of the anti-glare film faces the side opposite to the display element, and the anti-glare film is arranged on the outermost surface.
