Abstract

A low reflective film includes a first resin layer. The first resin layer includes a binder resin and an organic resin particle having an average particle size D 50 of 2 to 20 μm. A surface of the first resin layer has a reflectance and gloss values satisfying the following relationships: (1) regular reflectance at 70 degrees: 0.0% or more and 2.5% or less (wavelength 550 nm); (2) specular gloss value at 60 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less; specular gloss value at 75 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less; specular gloss value at 85 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less; and (3) a sum of a specular gloss value at 20°, a specular gloss value at 45°, the specular gloss value at 60°, the specular gloss value at 75°, and the specular gloss value at 85° is 7.5% or less.

Claims (40)

the first resin layer comprises at least a binder resin, and organic resin particles having an average particle size D 50 of 2 to 20 μm, and

a surface of the first resin layer has a reflectance and gloss values satisfying the following relationships;

(1) regular reflectance at 70 degrees: 0.0% or more and 2.5% or less at a wavelength of 550 nm,

(2) specular gloss value at 60 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less,

specular gloss value at 75 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less,

specular gloss value at 85 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less, and

(3) a sum of a specular gloss value at 20°, a specular gloss value at 45°, the specular gloss value at 60°, the specular gloss value at 75°, and the specular gloss value at 85° is 7.5% or less.

2. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein the organic resin particles have an average particle size D 50 of 5 to 20 μm.

3. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein a content rate of the organic resin particles to the binder resin is 0.6 to 2.5.

4. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin layer has a thickness T of 0.5 to 8.0 times of an average particle size D 50 of the organic resin particles comprised in the first resin layer.

5. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , having an optical density of 0.5 or more.

6. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin layer further comprises carbon black.

7. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , having a laminated structure comprising at least the first resin layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the listed order.

8. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , having a laminated structure comprising at least the first resin layer and a substrate film in the listed order.

9. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , having a laminated structure comprising at least the first resin layer, a substrate film, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the listed order.

10. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , having a laminated structure comprising at least the first resin layer, a substrate film, a second resin layer, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the listed order.

11. The low reflective film according to claim 7 , wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprises one or more pressure-sensitive adhesives selected from the group consisting of a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, an olefin-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive.

12. The low reflective film according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin layer has a surface roughness Ra of 0.8 to 4.0 μm.

13. An optical sensing kit comprising at least

an optical sensor which is disposed in an inside of a room of a moving vehicle and which images an outside of the room of the moving vehicle or detects visible light or infrared light in the outside of the room through a window transparent to visible light or infrared light, and

a low reflective film which covers a surface of an interior part disposed in the inside of the room and which reduces reflected light of external light on the surface to thereby allow the optical sensor to be enhanced in imaging accuracy and/or detection accuracy, wherein

the low reflective film comprises at least

a first resin layer, in which

the first resin layer comprises at least a binder resin, and organic resin particles having an average particle size D 50 of 2 to 20 μm, and

a surface of the first resin layer has a reflectance and gloss values satisfying the following relationships;

(1) regular reflectance at 70 degrees: 0.0% or more and 2.5% or less at a wavelength of 550 nm,

(2) specular gloss value at 60 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less,

specular gloss value at 75 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less,

specular gloss value at 85 degrees: 0.0% or more and 6.0% or less, and

(3) a sum of a specular gloss value at 20°, a specular gloss value at 45°, the specular gloss value at 60°, the specular gloss value at 75°, and the specular gloss value at 85° is 7.5% or less.

14. The optical sensing kit according to claim 13 , wherein the organic resin particles have an average particle size D 50 of 5 to 20 μm.
