Abstract: A light-scattering sheet of the present invention can be produced by applying a liquid mixture comprising polymers varying in refractive index (e.g., cellulose acetate), evaporating a solvent, and forming a bicontinuous phase structure due to spinodal decomposition. In the sheet, incident light can be scattered isotropically, and the transmitted and scattered light may have a maximum intensity of a scattered light at a scattering angle of 2 to 40°.

A reflective liquid crystal display unit has a liquid crystal cell with a liquid crystal sealed therein, a reflector for reflecting incident light disposed behind the liquid crystal cell, a light-scattering sheet disposed forwardly of the reflecting means and a polarizing plate disposed forwardly of the liquid crystal cell. The light-scattering sheet realizes a reflective liquid crystal display unit capable of assuring a high quality image.
