Laminated films

A laminated film which comprises (1) an anisotropic light-scattering layer and (2) at least one transparent resin layer laminated on at least one side of the light-scattering layer, wherein the light-scattering layer is composed of a continuous phase of crystalline or non-crystalline resin and a particulate dispersed phase of non-crystalline resin, which phases differ in the index of refraction from each other, the mean aspect ratio of the particulate dispersed phase is 5 to 1000 and the major axis of the particulate dispersed phase is oriented in a direction, and wherein the transparent resin layer is composed of the same kind of resin as one of those constituting the continuous layer,

• the film diffusing incident light in its advance direction and having a light-scattering characteristic F(θ) satisfying the following expression, which represents the relationship between the angle of light scattering θ and the intensity of scattered light F over a range of θ=2 to 30°,
• Fy(θ)/Fx(θ)>10
• wherein Fx(θ) represents the light-scattering characteristic in the direction of the major axis of the particulate dispersed phase and Fy(θ) represents the light-scattering characteristic in the direction normal to the major axis of the particulate dispersed phase.
