A functional film of the invention includes a microparticulate-containing
layer containing functional microparticulates. The
microparticulate-containing layer inhibits the occurrence of cracks even
when drawn 10%. When the functional film includes a
microparticulate-containing layer containing conductive
microparticulates, the microparticulate-containing layer exhibits a
surface resistivity after drawn 10% which is at most 10 times greater
than the surface resistivity prior to drawing. The invention thus
implements a functional film which is unsusceptible to reduction or loss
of its function due to deformation.
