1. A light control film having a rough surface pattern defining, for each cross-section perpendicular to a base plane of the
film, a profile curve along an edge contoured by the rough surface pattern, wherein for substantially all cross-sections perpendicular
to a base plane of the film the profile curve has an average of absolute values of slope to said base plane θave and has a ratio Lr=L2/L1 of the length L2 of said profile curve to the length L1 of a straight line defined by intersection
of said base plane and the cross-section satisfy the following:
θave÷Lr≧20 and
25≤θave×Lr≤60.
