However, in the case of acrylic resin containing inorganic fine particles as in the methods (a) and (b) above, there is a drawback that the light transmittance decreases when trying to sufficiently increase light diffusivity. In addition, as in method (C) above, in the case of a styrene resin or an acrylic resin containing a crosslinked styrene-alkyl acrylate polymer with a particle size of 30 to 500 μm, although a light diffusion effect is produced, it is difficult to achieve close to complete diffusion. However, they still have problems such as reduced light transmittance, defects in the appearance of molded products such as poor dispersion and flow patterns, and insufficient matte surfaces. The reality is that the market demand for high light transmittance and high light diffusion effect cannot be fully met. In particular, OA equipment, which has become rapidly popular in recent years,
There is a strong desire to improve the light transmittance and light diffusivity of light diffusing plates for optical devices such as liquid crystal displays and backlight panels.

It is 0 parts by weight. If the amount is less than 1 part by weight, it will become transparent, it will not be possible to obtain sufficient light diffusivity, and the surface will not be sufficiently matte, while if it exceeds 20 parts by weight, the light transmittance will be insufficient. It is not preferable because the effect of further improving the matte state and light diffusivity is not seen even if it is added in excess of this amount.
