Abstract

A curved substrate with a film includes a substrate having a first main surface, a second main surface and an end surface, and an antiglare film provided on the first main surface. The substrate has a flat portion and a bent portion. A value obtained by dividing a reflected-image diffusibility index value R of the bent portion by the sum of the reflected-image diffusibility index value R of the bent portion and a reflected-image diffusibility index value R of the flat portion is 0.3 or higher and 0.8 or less.

Claims (13)

1. A curved substrate with an antiglare film, comprising:

a substrate having a first main surface, a second main surface and an end surface; and

an antiglare film provided on the first main surface, wherein:

the substrate is a glass substrate having a flat portion and a bent portion; and

a value obtained by dividing a reflected-image diffusibility index value R of the bent portion by the sum of the reflected-image diffusibility index value R of the bent portion and a reflected-image diffusibility index value R of the flat portion is 0.3 or higher and 0.8 or less:

the reflected-image diffusibility index value R is determined by irradiating the substrate with light from a direction of +45° with respect to the first main surface of the substrate as a reference (taken as 0°) to measure a luminance of regular-reflection light reflected by a substrate surface (referred to as 45° regularly reflected light), subsequently similarly irradiating the substrate with the light from the direction of +45′ to measure the luminance of all reflected light reflected by the substrate surface, while changing a light-receiving angle from 0° to +90°, and calculating the reflected-image diffusibility index value R using the following equation (1):

Reflected-image diffusibility index value R =[(luminance of all reflected light)−(luminance of 45° regularly reflected light)]/(luminance of all reflected light)  (1), and

wherein the curved substrate with an antiglare film further comprises a functional film provided on the antiglare film,

wherein when the flat portion, the bent portion, and another flat portion that differs in angle from the flat portion, are viewed from a vertical direction to the flat portion and examined for luminous reflectance while eliminating reflection in the second main surface, and differences between two points differing in luminous reflectance from each other most widely are expressed by Δa* and Δb*, respectively, then Δa*<5.6 and Δb*<5.4 are satisfied, and the color difference ΔE in accordance with JIS Z 8729 (2004) satisfies ΔE<18.

2. The curved substrate with an antiglare film according to claim 1 , wherein when the flat portion makes an angle of 50° or smaller with the another flat portion, ΔE<5 is satisfied.

3. The curved substrate with an antiglare film according to claim 1 , wherein the functional film is an antireflection film.

4. The curved substrate with an antiglare film according to claim 1 , wherein the functional film is an infrared cut film.

5. A display device comprising the curved substrate with an antiglare film according to claim 1 .
