- yttrium oxide particles is a rare earth oxide (Nippon Yttrium Co.: D 50: 0.3 [mu] m, a specific surface area: 10m 2 / g) was used.
- the production was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the amount C of the particles added to the matrix resin and the thickness T of the light diffusing member were changed as shown in Table 1 below.
- Light transmission and haze It was measured using a haze meter (NDH2000 manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.). Light transmittance was evaluated as total light transmittance (%). The overall evaluation of light transmittance and haze was evaluated according to the following criteria. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
- [Hot spot presence] AS-LC01 manufactured by Asahi Denki Co., Ltd. was used as an LED light source.
- the light-diffusing members or light-diffusing structures of Examples and Comparative Examples were arranged at a position 1 cm above the LED light source, and the light emission of the LED light source was set to a high luminance mode to check for the presence or absence of a hot spot.
- the evaluation of the presence / absence of a hot spot was made when the outline (hot spot) of the LED light source was not clearly seen when the LED light source was visually confirmed through the light diffusion member or the light diffusion structure. Those that were clearly visible were marked "x".
- Table 1 The evaluation results are shown in Table 1 below.
- the light-diffusion member which has the light transmittance and has few light emission unevenness, such as a hot spot, a light-diffusion structure and a light-emitting structure using this are provided.
