Abstract
Provided is an optical member that can achieve a liquid crystal display apparatus that is excellent in mechanical strength, has an excellent hue, and shows little change in hue dependent on a viewing angle. The optical member includes a prism sheet and an optically functional element that are integrated with each other. The prism sheet has: a first main surface, which is flat; and a second main surface, on which a plurality of unit prisms each having a columnar shape convex toward an opposite side to the first main surface are arrayed. Convex portions formed by the plurality of unit prisms on the second main surface of the prism sheet are bonded to one main surface of the optically functional element.
