A fine-concave-convex transfer mold with which defect regions of a molded body having a fine-concave-convex structure can be easily identified, and deformation of the fine-concave-convex structure can be inhibited even if the molded product is wound. A mold for the production of an optical article has, provided to a surface thereof, a plurality of convex portions at a cycle equal to or less than the wavelengths of visible light, and a plurality of concave portions formed between the adjacent convex portions. The mold has a surface provided with a transfer area having concave portions and convex portions that have a size and shape complementing the convex portions and the concave portions of the optical article. The mold can include, in the transfer area, marking portions. The height of the convex portions in the transfer area is less than the height of convex portions in sections other than the transfer area.

A method for manufacturing a light transmissive film having a cured resin layer with a fine concavo-convex structure on a surface of a base material film is provided. The method includes sandwiching an active energy ray-curable composition including a mold dissolving component between a mold having an inversion structure of the fine concavo-convex structure and the base material film, obtaining a light transmissive film in which a cured resin layer having the inversion structure of the mold transferred is formed on one surface of the base material film, and separating the obtained light transmissive film and the mold. Thus, it is possible to productively manufacture a light transmissive film, and to prevent the deposition of an attachment on the mold surface and the contamination of the mold surface. Moreover, a light transmissive film can be manufactured having excellent performances, such as antireflection properties.
