2. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein by the single photolithography process, a continuous portion of the anti-glare layer is further formed, and the continuous portion extends continuously between the protrusion portions.
3. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein by the single photolithography process, the protrusion portions of the anti-glare layer are further separated.
4. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein by the single photolithography process, the anti-glare layer is further formed to have surface roughness between 0.5 μm and 2 μm.
5. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein by the single photolithography process, adjacent protrusion portions of the plurality of protrusion portions of the anti-glare layer are further separated by a distance less than 1 mm.
6. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein by the single photolithography process, the protrusion portions of the anti-glare layer are further formed to have a height between 0.1 μm and 10 μm or an aspect ratio between 0 and 1.
7. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the protrusion portions comprises a photosensitive resin.
8. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein by the single photolithography process, the protrusion portions of the anti-glare layer are further formed to have a cross-sectional shape comprising a rectangle or a trapezoid.
9. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , wherein the gray-scale mask comprises at least four areas with different light transmittances.
10. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 9 , wherein by the single photolithography process, the protrusion portions of the anti-glare layer are further formed to comprise at least four different heights respectively corresponding to the at least four areas with different light transmittances of the gray-scale mask.
11. The manufacturing method of the anti-glare layer according to claim 1 , further comprising disposing the anti-glare layer on an external surface of an electronic device, wherein the protrusion portions protrude outward.
12. An anti-glare layer, comprising:
a substrate; and
a plurality of protrusion portions disposed on the substrate, wherein the protrusion portions are manufactured by a photolithography process, and a separation distance of adjacent protrusion portions of the plurality of protrusion portions is less than 1 mm,
wherein a surface roughness of the anti-glare layer is between 0.5 μm and 2 μm.
13. The anti-glare layer according to claim 12 , further comprising:
a continuous portion disposed on the substrate and extending continuously between the protrusion portions.
14. The anti-glare layer according to claim 12 , wherein the protrusion portions have at least four different heights.
15. The anti-glare layer according to claim 12 , wherein a height of the protrusion portions is between 0.1 μm and 10 μm, or an aspect ratio is between 0 and 1.
16. The anti-glare layer according to claim 12 , wherein a material of the protrusion portions comprises a photosensitive resin.
