a photopolymerization initiator, and
a dilution monomer,
wherein the dilution monomer consists of a fluorine-based (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer having three or more and less than seventeen fluorine atoms in its molecule and a monofunctional or difunctional (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer in amounts of from 10 to 40 wt% and from 10 to 30 wt% of the total resin composition, respectively, and
wherein the photocurable resin composition, when photocured, forms a scratch-resistant film.
