Furthermore, the transmittance retention after the aging treatment was calculated.

Example 2, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2
In Example 1, the composition of the resin composition was changed as shown in Table 1, and the others were performed in the same manner.

  As is clear from the above results, the resin composition of the present invention had high visibility (Examples 1 and 2). In particular, when the wavelength is 800 nm, the transmittance, the transmittance after the aging treatment, and the retention ratio of the resin composition not containing the antioxidant are compared with those of the resin composition of the present invention (Comparative Example 1). ), Even in a resin composition containing a phosphorus antioxidant outside the scope of the present invention (Comparative Example 2), no significant difference was observed. On the other hand, when the wavelength is 480 nm, the resin composition of the present invention and the resin composition of the comparative example show significant differences in both the initial transmittance, the transmittance after the aging treatment, and the retention rate. It was. The visibility tank has high value in that a composition excellent in transmittance in the visible region, particularly in the transmittance after the aging treatment is obtained because the transmittance in the visible region is important.
