The invention relates to a glass-plastic composite film and a method for producing same. Conventional glass-plastic composite films are tailored specifically to the requirements of their intended use. The invention aims to create a new composite film which can be used in as wide a range of applications as possibly and is uncomplicated to produce. To this end a glass-plastic composite film is coated with a liquid phase polymer without the use of adhesive. Such a film is characterized by a high-quality surface finish and low optical retardation. It is particularly suitable for the production of illuminated displays on the basis of liquid crystals or light-emitting layers.
