Abstract

The present invention relates to an antireflection film which includes a hard coating layer and a low refractive index layer formed on the hard coating layer, wherein a roughness kurtosis (Rku) of the concavo-convex shape of the surface is greater than 3.5 and less than 6, a Swedish height (H) of the concavo-convex shape of the surface is greater than 20 nm and less than 200 nm, and the light transmittance in a wavelength region of 380 nm to 780 nm is 94% or more, and a display device comprising the antireflection film.

Claims (35)

1. An antireflection film comprising a hard coating layer and a low refractive index layer formed on the hard coating layer, the antireflection film having a concavo-convex shaped surface,

wherein a roughness kurtosis (Rku) of the concavo-convex shape of the surface of the antireflection film is greater than 3.5 and less than 6, a Swedish height (H) of the concavo-convex shape of the surface of the antireflection film is greater than 20 nm and less than 200 nm, and a light transmittance in a wavelength region of 380 nm to 780 nm is 94% or more,

wherein the hard coating layer comprises a binder resin containing a (co)polymer of a photopolymerizable compound and an organic or inorganic fine particle having a diameter of 0.5 μm to 10 μm dispersed in the binder resin and inorganic nanoparticles having a diameter of 1 nm to 50 nm.

2. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

wherein the roughness kurtosis (Rku) and the Swedish height (H) of the concavo-convex shape of the surface of the antireflection film are the results measured by a non-contact surface shape measuring instrument (3D optical profiler).

3. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

wherein an average reflectivity of the antireflection film is less than 5% in a wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm.

4. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

wherein the internal haze of the antireflection film is greater than 0 and less than 10%.

5. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

wherein the external haze of the antireflection film is greater than 0 and less than 0.5%.

6. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

wherein the hard coating layer comprises 1 to 20 parts by weight of the organic or inorganic fine particles based on 100 parts by weight of the (co)polymer of the photopolymerizable compound.

7. The antireflection film of claim 1 wherein the hard coating layer comprises 3 to 10% by weight of the inorganic nanoparticles based on the total weight of the organic or inorganic fine particles and inorganic nanoparticles.

8. The antireflection film of claim 7 ,

wherein the hard coating layer further comprises an inorganic nanoparticle having a diameter greater than 50 nm and 120 nm or less.

9. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

wherein the low refractive index layer comprises a binder resin including a cross-linked polymer between a photopolymerizable compound; a fluorine-based compound containing a photoreactive functional group; and a polysilsesquioxane in which at least one reactive functional group is substituted, and an inorganic fine particle dispersed in the binder resin.

10. The antireflection film of claim 9 ,

wherein the reactive functional group substituted on the polysilsesquioxane comprises at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids, epoxides, imides, (meth)acrylates, nitriles, norbornenes, olefins, polyethylene glycols, thiols, and vinyl groups.

11. The antireflection film of claim 10 ,

wherein the polysilsesquioxane in which at least one reactive functional group is substituted is further substituted with at least one unreactive functional group selected from the group consisting of a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, and an aryl groups having 6 to 30 carbon atoms.

12. The antireflection film of claim 9 ,

wherein the polysilsesquioxane in which at least one reactive functional group is substituted comprises a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane having a cage structure, in which at least one reactive functional group is substituted.

13. The antireflection film of claim 12 ,

wherein at least one of the silicon atoms of the polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane having a cage structure is substituted with a reactive functional group, and the remaining silicon atoms, in which a reactive functional group is not substituted, are substituted with an unreactive functional group.

14. The antireflection film of claim 13 ,

wherein the molar ratio of the reactive functional group to the unfunctional reactive group substituted on the polysilsesquioxane is 0.20 or more.

15. The antireflection film of claim 9 ,

wherein the fluorine-based compound containing a photoreactive functional group has a fluorine content of 1% by weight to 25% by weight, and includes at least one selected from the group consisting of i) an aliphatic compound or an aliphatic cyclic compound in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted and at least one fluorine is substituted on at least one carbon; ii) a heteroaliphatic compound or a heteroaliphatic cyclic compound in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted, at least one hydrogen is substituted with fluorine, and at least one carbon is substituted with silicon; iii) a polydialkylsiloxane-based polymer in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted and at least one fluorine is substituted on at least one silicon; and iv) a polyether compound in which at least one photoreactive functional group is substituted and at least one hydrogen is substituted with fluorine.

16. The antireflection film of claim 9 ,

wherein the low refractive index layer comprises 1 to 75 parts by weight of the fluorine-based compound containing a photoreactive functional group, 0.5 to 25 parts by weight of the polysilsesquioxane in which at least one reactive functional group is substituted, and 10 to 320 parts by weight of the inorganic fine particles based on 100 parts by weight of the photopolymerizable compound.

17. The antireflection film of claim 1 ,

wherein the hard coating layer has a thickness of greater than 5 μm and less than 10 μm, and the low refractive index layer has a thickness of 1 nm to 300 nm.

18. A display device comprising the antireflection film according to claim 1 .
