Description of the Related Art In recent years, as a display device such as a notebook type computer or a word processor, a liquid crystal display device using a liquid crystal element having a backlight mechanism which can be made thinner and has an easy-to-view image has been used. For such a backlight mechanism, an edge light method in which a linear light source such as a fluorescent tube is provided at one end of a light-transmitting light guide plate is often used. In the case of such an edge light system, a surface light source is often configured such that one surface of a light guide plate is partially covered with a light diffusing substance, and the entire surface is further covered with a reflective material. .

-286019, an aluminum plate as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-22755, a metal reflection plate as described in JP-A-8-114798, and a film provided with a silver thin film as described in JP-A-8-114798. 3-25609
No. 0 and JP-B-8-16175, etc. In particular, in a backlight mechanism of an edge light system, a light-weight, foamed white film having relatively low reflection directivity is often used as a reflection plate at present. However, the conventional foamed white film is lightweight and has excellent characteristics of low reflection directivity, but has a poor concealing property, so that when it is incorporated in a backlight device, it has a metal frame for fixing a liquid crystal display element. There is a problem that a part or a part of a plastic case into which a liquid crystal display is incorporated can be seen through, thereby deteriorating the quality of the liquid crystal display device.

On the other hand, if it exceeds 20 parts by weight, the thermoplastic resin (b2) becomes
It is difficult to obtain a cavity having a desired size, for example, by covering most of 1) and forming a cavity having a length shorter than the thickness. By setting the mixing ratio of the thermoplastic resin (b1) and the thermoplastic resin (b2) within the above range, the thermoplastic resin (b2) having a large surface tension partially replaces the thermoplastic resin (b1) having a small surface tension. The coating or the whole is thinly coated, and the influence on the adhesiveness of the thermoplastic resin (b1) to the polyester resin (a) is negligible. Therefore, the fine dispersion effect of the thermoplastic resin (b2) is effectively exhibited, and the thermoplastic resin (b1) can be finely dispersed in the polyester-based resin (a). Can be obtained in large numbers. In the polyester resin (a), the thermoplastic resin (b2)
There is no particular limitation on the state in which the resin is coated with the thermoplastic resin (b1). For example, a state in which a coated part and an uncoated part are present regularly, such as a mesh, a state in which the coated part is randomly distributed, and a state in which the whole is thinly coated. A state, or a state in which a plurality of the above states coexist, may be mentioned.

The properties required for the surface light source reflective film of the present invention, in particular, the amount of voids formed in the polyester-based resin layer or the stretching conditions during the production of the polyester-based resin layer may be appropriately set, but the polyester-based resin layer mainly comprises The polyester resin (a) and the thermoplastic resin (b)
The sum of the amounts of the thermoplastic resin (b1) and the thermoplastic resin (b2) is preferably 3 to 30% by weight, more preferably 5 to 25% by weight, based on the total amount of 1) and the thermoplastic resin (b2). It is better to be within the range. When the sum of the blending amounts of the thermoplastic resin (b1) and the thermoplastic resin (b2) is less than 3% by weight, the amount of cavities generated in the stretching step at the time of forming the polyester resin layer is reduced, and the visible light range is reduced. If the reflectance and light scattering property are reduced, on the other hand, if it exceeds 30% by weight, the stretchability at the time of forming the polyester-based resin layer is significantly reduced, and the strength or stiffness may also be reduced.
