Abstract: A white film including polymer film wherein both the thermal shrinkage rate in the longitudinal direction and that in the transverse direction of the film are not less than ?0.2% and not more than 0.5% at 90° C., and a backlight for liquid crystal displays using such a white film. Since the white film hardly suffers from undulation or rise in its end portions, it is most suitable as a reflection film for backlights of liquid crystal displays. Since a backlight for liquid crystal displays using this white film can be used for a long time, it is applicable to liquid crystal displays of various electrical/electronic devices.

Abstract: A reflector for lighting has shape holding property, flexibility and lightweight property. That is, a reflector for lighting includes: a reflective material made of a polymer membrane of which an average reflectance of 400 to 700 nm wavelength of at least one surface side is 85% or more and having a ridge-shaped uneven shape; and a reinforcing material having flexibility, and the reinforcing material connects the bottom parts of concave parts with each other from the back side of the one surface side of the reflective material to reinforce the uneven shape.
