A transparent composite composition is provided which is low in
coefficient of linear expansion and excellent in transparency, heat
resistance and solvent resistance and can serve as an optical sheet for a
liquid crystal display device or organic EL display device, for instance
and can thus serve as a glass substitute. The transparent composite
composition has a transparent resin (a) and a glass filler (b), and the
transparent resin (a) is a copolymer obtained from at least one reactive
monomer lower in refractive index than the glass filler (b) and at least
one reactive monomer higher in refractive index than the glass filler
(b).
