Transfer sheet and manufacturing method for same, method for manufacturing molded body using said transfer sheet and molded body, and front plate using said molded body and image display device

A method for manufacturing a transfer sheet, comprising performing the following steps (1) and (2) in order:

• (1) applying a coating liquid for forming a transfer layer onto a first release substrate to form a transfer layer comprising at least one functional layer;
• and
• (2) laminating a second release substrate onto the transfer layer to obtain a transfer sheet A comprising the first release substrate, the transfer layer and the release substrate 2 in the presented order and having a second peel strength between the second release substrate and the transfer layer larger than a first peel strength between the first release substrate and the transfer layer,
• wherein the transfer layer comprises a functional layer that is an antifouling low refractive index layer comprising a binder resin, silica particles and an antifouling agent, and the antifouling agent in the antifouling low refractive index layer is unevenly distributed on the second release substrate side,
• wherein a ratio of Si element attributed to the silica particles is 10.0 atomic percent or more and 18.0 atomic percent or less, and a ratio of C element under the assumption that the ratio of Si element is defined to be 100 atomic percent is 180 atomic percent or more and 500 atomic percent or less, obtained by analysis of a surface region of the second release substrate side of the antifouling low refractive index layer by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and
• wherein an arithmetic average roughness Ra on a surface of the second release substrate side of the antifouling low refractive index layer is 6.00 nm or more and 15 nm or less.
