Method for producing optical film

A method for producing an optical film, comprising:

• a step of preparing a first coating liquid containing a certain amount of light-transmitting particles, a resin, and a solvent, a second coating liquid containing an amount less than the certain amount of light-transmitting particles, a resin, and a solvent, or not containing the light-transmitting particles but containing a resin and a solvent;
• a step of coating the second coating liquid and the first coating liquid in this order from the support side on a traveling band-shaped support in the form of a multilayer to form a second coating film and a first coating film;
• a step of transferring the light-transmitting particles in the first coating film to the side of the second coating film while drying the first coating film and the second coating film;
• and
• a step of curing the first coating film and the second coating film to form an antiglare layer including the light-transmitting particles and a resin layer,
• wherein when the average particle diameter of the light-transmitting particles is A and the average layer thickness of the antiglare layers is L, the presence ratio of the central position of the light-transmitting particle and the distance thereof from the support side in the resin layer, when viewing the cross-section in the vertical direction of the antiglare layer, satisfy the following relationship:
• 2L/3−A/6 to L−A/2:
• 40% to 100% (1)
• L/3+A/6 to 2L/3−A/6:
• 0% to 50% (2)
• A/2 to L/3+A/6:
• 0% to 10% (3).
