Abstract
An anti-glare film is provided and includes a substrate and an anti-glare layer which is formed on the substrate and contains fine particles. The anti-glare layer has micro concave/convex shapes on the surface. The micro concave/convex shapes of the anti-glare layer are formed by coating the substrate with a coating material containing the fine particles and aggregating the fine particles by a convection of the coating material. A thickness of the anti-glare layer is equal to or larger than a mean diameter of the fine particles and is equal to or less than three times as large as the mean diameter of the fine particles. The fine particles are constructed substantially by fine particles having particle sizes less than twice as large as the thickness of the anti-glare layer.
