Abstract

The present invention relates to an anti-reflective film including: a hard coating layer; and a low refractive index layer including a binder resin, and hollow inorganic nanoparticles and solid inorganic nanoparticles which are dispersed in the binder resin, wherein in a graph of the measurement of the friction force with a TAC film measured by applying a load of 400 g to the surface, the maximum amplitude (A) is 0.1 or less based on the average friction force.
