Abstract

The present invention relates to an anti-reflective film exhibiting one or more peaks at a scattering vector (q max ) of 0.0758 to 0.1256 nm −1 , in a graph showing a log value of scattering intensity to a scattering vector defined in small-angle X-ray scattering.

Claims (34)

1. An anti-reflective film exhibiting one or more peaks at a scattering vector (q max ) of 0.0758 to 0.1256 nm −1 , in a graph showing a log value of scattering intensity to a scattering vector defined in small-angle X-ray scattering,

wherein the small-angle X-ray scattering is measured by irradiating X-rays of a wavelength of 0.63 to 1.54 Å to an anti-reflective film with a size of 1 cm*1 cm (width*length) at a distance of 4 m, wherein the scattering vector is defined as in the following Equation 1:

q= 4π sin θ/λ   [Equation 1]

wherein, in Equation 1, q is a scattering vector, θ is a ½ value of a scattering angle, and λ, is a wavelength of irradiated X-rays;

wherein the anti-reflective film comprises a hard coating layer and a low refractive index layer comprising a binder resin, and hollow inorganic nanoparticles and solid inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in the binder resin comprising a (co)polymer of photopolymerizable compounds, wherein the low refractive index layer contains 10 to 400 parts by weight of the hollow inorganic nanoparticles and 10 to 400 parts by weight of the solid inorganic nanoparticles, based on 100 parts by weight of the (co)polymer of photopolymerizable compounds,

wherein the low-refractive index layer includes the hollow inorganic nanoparticles in a higher amount by weight than the solid inorganic nanoparticles, and

wherein 70 vol % or more of the total volume of the solid inorganic nanoparticles exist within 50% of the total thickness of the low refractive index layer from the interface between the hard coating layer and the low refractive index layer.

2. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the anti-reflective film exhibits mean reflectance of 0.7% or less in a visible light wavelength region of 380 to 780 nm.

3. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the solid inorganic nanoparticles are more distributed than the hollow inorganic nanoparticles near the interface between the hard coating layer and the low refractive index layer.

4. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 ,

wherein 30 vol % or more of the total volume of the hollow inorganic nanoparticles exist farther than the total volume of the solid inorganic nanoparticles, in the thickness direction of the low refractive index layer from the interface between the hard coating layer and the low refractive index layer.

5. The anti-reflective film according to claim 3 ,

wherein 70 vol % or more of the total volume of the solid inorganic nanoparticles exist within 30% of the total thickness of the low refractive index layer from the interface between the hard coating layer and the low refractive index layer.

6. The anti-reflective film according to claim 5 ,

wherein 70 vol % or more of the total volume of the hollow inorganic nanoparticles exist at a region exceeding 30% of the total thickness of the low refractive index layer from the interface between the hard coating layer and the low refractive index layer.

7. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the low refractive index layer comprises a first layer comprising 70 vol % or more of the total volume of the solid inorganic nanoparticles and a second layer comprising 70 vol % or more of the total volume of the hollow inorganic nanoparticles, and

the first layer is positioned nearer to the interface between the hard coating layer and the low refractive index layer than the first layer.

8. The anti-reflective film according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first layer comprising 70 vol % or more of the total volume of the solid inorganic nanoparticles is positioned within 50% of the total thickness of the low refractive index layer from the interface between the hard coating layer and the low refractive index layer.

9. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein the solid inorganic nanoparticles have a density at least 0.50 g/cm 3 greater than density of the hollow inorganic nanoparticles.

10. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein the solid inorganic nanoparticles and the hollow inorganic nanoparticles respectively contain 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 on the surface thereof.

11. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the binder resin included in the low refractive index layer further comprises a cross-linked (co)polymer of fluorine-containing compounds comprising photoreactive functional groups.

12. The anti-reflective film according to claim 11 ,

wherein the fluorine-containing compounds comprising photoreactive functional groups respectively have a weight average molecular weight of 2000 to 200,000.

13. The anti-reflective film according to claim 11 ,

wherein the binder resin comprises, based on 100 parts by weight of the (co)polymer of photopolymerizable compounds, 20 to 300 parts by weight of the fluorine-containing compounds comprising photoreactive functional groups.

14. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein the hard coating layer comprises a binder resin comprising a photocurable resin, and organic or inorganic fine particles dispersed in the binder resin.

15. The anti-reflective film according to claim 14 ,

wherein the organic fine particles have a particle diameter of 1 to 10 μm, and

the inorganic particles have a particle diameter of 1 to 500 nm.
