A light pipe is obtained by laminating on one or both surfaces of a
light-transmitting resin plate a polarized-light scattering plate having
fine birefringent domains dispersed therein and hence showing anisotropy
in scattering. The polarized-light scattering plate comprises a
transparent film having fine domains dispersed therein comprising a
liquid crystal polymer which exhibits nematic at temperatures lower than
the glass transition temperature of the polymer constituting matrix of
the transparent film and has a glass transition temperature of 50.degree.
C. or higher. The light pipe as a laminate may further comprise a
specular reflection layer, a polarization-retaining lens and a light
diffusion layer laminated thereon. The light pipe may further comprise a
light source mounted at least on one side face thereof to provide a
planar polarized-light source.
