    摘要: A circumferentially light-emitting thermoplastic resin molded body which can be bent for use according to the type of optical ornaments or the shape of an object to be decorated and which allows the overall luminance of the emitted light to improve and restrains the luminescent color from being yellowed at the distal locations of such body with regard to the light source. The thermoplastic resin molded body has a core layer made from a thermoplastic elastomer; and a first clad layer made from a thermoplastic resin whose refractive index is smaller than the thermoplastic elastomer from which the core layer is made, in which a light diffusing agent is added to the thermoplastic elastomer from which the core layer is made and the thermoplastic resin from which the first clad layer is made respectively; and the total light transmittance of the first clad layer is defined as less than 70%.

    摘要: A resin composition is provided which has high transparency, light guiding properties and luminescent properties and can guide light therethrough with little change in chromaticity. A shaped article such as an optical element including the resin composition is also provided. The resin composition includes an acrylic block copolymer (A) and a light diffusing agent (B), wherein the acrylic block copolymer (A) has at least one structure in which polymer blocks (a1) based on methacrylic acid ester units are bonded to both ends of a polymer block (a2) based on acrylic acid ester units, and has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 150,000 and a tensile elastic modulus of 1 to 1,500 MPa, the light diffusing agent (B) is rutile titanium oxide having an average particle size of 0.5 to 2.0 μm, and the content of the light diffusing agent (B) is 0.5 to 10 ppm (on mass basis) based on the acrylic block copolymer (A).
