Optical sheet and production process thereof

摘要

The invention provides an optical sheet suitable for use in displays such as LCD and EL and having good light transmission property and diffusiveness and moreover possessing excellent durability that the optical properties of the optical sheet can be retained even under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. The optical sheet has a transparent substrate and a binder layer laminated directly or through another layer on the transparent substrate, wherein spherical fine particles having a particle diameter distribution of from 0.8 to 1.0 are embedded in a state of a monoparticle layer in the binder layer so as to partly project from the surface of the binder layer, and a distance from the top of the projected fine particles to the surface of the transparent substrate is from 100% to 110% of the volume average particle diameter of the spherical fine particles.
