the binder resin comprises a crosslinked polymer between a photopolymerizable compound and a fluorinated compound containing a photoreactive functional group.

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

the inorganic fine particles comprise at least one selected from the group consisting of solid inorganic nanoparticles having a diameter of 0.5 to 100 nm and hollow inorganic nanoparticles having a diameter of 1 to 200 nm.

5. The anti-reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein,

the hard coating layer comprises a binder resin including a photocurable resin; and organic or inorganic fine particles dispersed in the binder resin.

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