Resin film and method for manufacturing resin film
Disclosed herein is a resin film. The resin film has a height difference of about 10 nm to about 65 nm between a convex portion and a concave portion on an outermost surface thereof, and has a difference in contact angle (ΔCA) of less than about 10° , as represented by Equation 1: ΔCA=|CA2-CA1| [Equation 1] where in Equation 1, CA1 is a water droplet contact angle after a surface of a substrate coated with the resin film has been subjected to a 500-cycle reciprocating abrasion test using an eraser under a load of 500 g/cm 2 , and CA2 is a water droplet contact angle before the reciprocating abrasion test.
