A transmittable light-scattering sheet (a transmitting type light-scattering sheet) of the present invention comprises a plurality of layers, each having a bicontinuous structure composed of a plurality of polymers. The layers differ from each other in average period size of the bicontinuous structure. The sheet may comprise, for example, a first layer having a bicontinuous structure (e.g., the average period size of the bicontinuous structure of 1.5 to 4 μm) and a second layer each having a bicontinuous structure (e.g., the larger average period size of the bicontinuous structure than that of the first layer by 0.5 to 8 μm). In the sheet, the first layer may be next to the second layer. The ratio of the period size of the first layer to that of the second layer may be the first layer/the second layer=1.3/1 to 4/1. Such a sheet can impart a directionality to a reflected light.
A light-transmittable light-scattering sheet comprising a first layer and a second layer, each having a bicontinuous structure composed of a plurality of polymers varying in refractive index, said bicontinuous structure formed by spinodal decomposition of a composition containing said plurality of polymers, wherein the layers differ from each other in average period size of the bicontinuous structure, and the ratio of the period size of the first layer to that of the second layer is the first layer/the second layer=1.3/1 to 4/1.
