This invention provides an antiglare film of a type with a low content of particles that makes it possible to increase contrast, the antiglare film demonstrating appropriate antiglare property, small white blurring, and a low level of glittering, and also a method for manufacturing the film and a transmission type liquid crystal display. In the antiglare film, a content ratio of the particles in the binder matrix is within a range of 0.5-5 wt. %, a refractive index difference |nA−nM| is equal to or greater than 0.010, R25/R is in the range of 0.7-0.9, R75/R is in the range of 1.10-1.30, and R75/H is in the range of 0.70-1.50.
