Abstract

Optical diffusion element comprises a layer of polymer particles self-fused together, each polymer particle having a refractivity varying from the center to the periphery thereof and a component for the periphery having a glass transition temperature that is desirably lower than 100° C. The optical diffusion element is desirably provided with an optical transparent layer in contact with the polymer particle layer.
