Method for forming anti-glare hard coat layer

A method for forming an antiglare hard coat layer having a concavo-convex shape on a surface, on at least one surface of a transparent support substrate, comprising:

• a mold substrate production step of producing a mold substrate having a concavo-convex shape on a surface thereof;
• an application step of applying a hard coating composition to one surface of the transparent support substrate, thereby forming an uncured hard coat layer;
• a surface contact step of bringing both the substrates into surface contact with each other in a direction in which the concavo-convex shape surface of the mold substrate and a surface of the uncured hard coat layer face each other;
• a curing step of applying active energy rays, thereby curing the uncured hard coat layer;
• and
• a peeling step of peeling the mold substrate from the cured hard coat layer,
• wherein
• the hard coating composition contains a polymerizable unsaturated group-containing oligomer or polymer having a weight-average molecular weight in a range of 1000 to 200000,
• a peel strength of a surface contact part of the concavo-convex shape surface of the mold substrate and the uncured hard coat layer surface is in a range of 0.01 to 2 N/25 mm,
• a peel strength of the surface contact part of the concavo-convex shape surface of the mold substrate and the hard coat layer after the application of the active energy rays is in a range of 0.005 to 1.5 N/25 mm,
• a pressing pressure in the surface contact step of the concavo-convex shape surface of the mold substrate and the uncured hard coat layer surface is 0.001 to 5 MPa, and
• a concavo-convex shape transfer rate achieved when the pressing pressure is in the above range is 75 to 100%.
