Abstract: The optical sheet according to the present invention includes a first layer containing a polycarbonate resin and a second layer containing an amorphous polyamide resin, the first layer and the second layer being layered by coextrusion molding. The first layer and the second layer are peelable from each other; and a surface of at least one of the first layer and the second layer has a fine uneven shape formed thereat. Such an optical sheet including a plurality of layers can make the entirety sheet thick at the time of melt extrusion molding, and therefore the layered body during the molding can hold a sufficient amount of heat. This improves the transferability of the fine uneven structure. In addition, the layers may be peeled off so that one of the layers is used. In this case, the optical sheet can be made thinner.
