Abstract

The present invention relates to an antireflection article of which the first surface has sufficient abrasion resistance and can suppress reflectance to a low level throughout the visible light region, and a display device. The present invention relates to an antireflection article that has light transmittance, in which a plurality of convex portions are disposed on a first surface positioned at a visible side and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the average gap of the convex portions is 400 nm or less, the ratio (H 1 /W 1 ) of the height H 1 of the convex portions and the width W 1 of the bottoms of the convex portions is 1.3 or more, in the first surface, and the ratio (H 2 /W 2 ) of the height H 2 of the convex portions and the width W 2 of the bottoms of the convex portions is larger than the ratio (H 1 /W 1 ), in the second surface.

Claims (21)

1. An antireflection article that has light transmittance, comprising

a plurality of convex portions disposed on a first surface positioned at a visible side and a second surface opposite to the first surface, wherein

an average gap of the convex portions is 400 nm or less,

a ratio (H 1 /W 1 ) of a height H 1 of the convex portions and a width W 1 of bottoms of the convex portions is 1.3 to 1.7, in the first surface, and

a ratio (H 2 /W 2 ) of a height H 2 of the convex portions and a width W 2 of bottoms of the convex portions is larger by 0.3 or more than the ratio (H 1 /W 1 ), in the second surface

a difference (ΔR) between a maximum reflectance and a minimum reflectance of reflected light from the antireflection article in a range of wavelength of 380 to 780 nm is 1.0% or less.

2. The antireflection article according to claim 1 ,

wherein the difference (ΔR) between a maximum reflectance and a minimum reflectance in a range of wavelength of 380 to 780 nm is 0.6% or less.

3. The antireflection article according to claim 1 ,

wherein H 1 /W 1 +H 2 /W 2 ≧3.1.

4. The antireflection article according to claim 1 ,

wherein luminous reflectance of the antireflection article is 0.4% or less.

5. The antireflection article according to claim 1 comprising a base main body and antireflection films which are bonded to a front surface and a rear surface of the base main body,

wherein the plurality of convex portions is disposed on surfaces of the antireflection films, and

the base main body is at least one base material having light transmittance selected from the group consisting of a glass, an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate, a styrene-based resin, a polyester, a cellulosic resin, a polyolefin, and an alicyclic polyolefin.

6. A display device comprising:

a display main body; and

the antireflection article according to claim 1 which is disposed ahead of a screen of the display main body, with the first surface at a visible side and the second surface at the display main body side.

7. A display device comprising:

a display main body; and

the antireflection article according to claim 3 which is disposed ahead of a screen of the display main body, with the first surface at a visible side and the second surface at the display main body side.
