図1~図3に示すように、本発明の一実施形態に係るニュートンリング防止シート1は単層構造であり、基層5自体に賦形された凹凸層3を有する。この凹凸層3は構造物2を格子状に隙間なく複数配列することで構成されている。構造物2は、実質的に高分子樹脂で構成され、ピークPを備えている。
第2に、基準構造物2aのピークPaと、他の構造物2b,2cのピークPb,Pcとを結ぶ直線の方向に沿って、垂直断面の高さが周期的に変動するように、凹凸層3を構成している。このため、ニュートンリング防止シート1の構造物2,2a,2b,2cなどを有する面(凹凸層3の面)に対向する部材に対して接地する部位が散在した状態とされる。その結果、ニュートンリングの発生を効果的に防止することができる。
