Disclosed is a cellulose ester film which, when used in a polarizing plate, can impart excellent dimensional stability, curling properties and surface properties to the polarizing plate. Also disclosed is a light-scattering film, a polarizing plate or a liquid crystal display element which is produced by using the cellulose ester film, and therefore has more excellent optical anisotropy, higher surface properties and a smoother surface, causes less curling, and has good surface quality. The cellulose ester film comprises 1 to 50% by mass (inclusive) of microparticles having an average particle diameter of 1 to 400 nm (inclusive) and a compound showing negative birefringence in the direction of drawing, and has a retardation value (R0) defined by the equation (I) of 0 to 5 nm (inclusive) and a retardation value (Rt) defined by the equation (II) of-10 to 20 nm (inclusive), both measured at 23°C and 55% RH: Equation (I): R0 = (nx-ny) x d; and Equation (II): Rt = [(nx + ny)/2-nz] x d. |
