NOVELTY - The laminate comprises a support, an antistatic layer, and a layer on the upper layer of the antistatic layer of the laminate. The antistatic layer: is provided on the support; is made with a composition comprising a good solvent of an electrically conductive polymer and a good solvent of a binder component; has regions having local concentration of the electrically conductive polymer of less than or equal to 1.5 times than the average value of the concentration of the electrically conductive polymer in the antistatic layer; and has a sea-island structure containing the electrically conductive polymer.    USE - The laminate is useful in an optical film and polarizing plate of an image display device (all claimed) such as a LCD, a plasma display panel, an electroluminescence display, a CRT, a field emission display and surface-conduction electron-emitter display, where the laminate is antistatic laminate and is useful for: transmitting type, reflection type and semi-transmitting type liquid crystal display devices of the modes of twisted nematic, super twisted nematic, vertical alignment, in-plane switching, optically compensated bend cell and electrically controlled birefringence; a hard coat film; an antireflection film for a solar battery cell; members of non-display faces of general domestic electric appliances (a stain-proofing layer and an antistatic layer); a decorative sheet; a wall paper; and a base material for protecting the dial of a watch.    ADVANTAGE - The laminate can be easily and effectively manufactured with high surface hardness and physical strength, superior productivity, improved dustproof properties and adhering properties, and excellent abrasion resistance and without damage thus improving the antistatic properties of the image display devices without loss in electrical conductivity, cloudiness of a coated film, dissolution failure and coating repellency failure and compactibly providing evenness to the optical film with high surface stability and without any deterioration.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The laminate comprises a support, an antistatic layer, and a layer on the upper layer of the antistatic layer of the laminate. The antistatic layer: is provided on the support; is made with a composition comprising a good solvent of an electrically conductive polymer and a good solvent of a binder component; has regions having local concentration of the electrically conductive polymer of less than or equal to 1.5 times than the average value of the concentration of the electrically conductive polymer in the antistatic layer; and has a sea-island structure containing the electrically conductive polymer in a sea part. The regions are present in contact with each other to form a three-dimensional connection structure in the antistatic layer. A common logarithmic value of the surface resistivity of the antistatic layer is 3-13 Omega /sq. The binder component is a polymer having a number average molecular weight of 1500-500000 and a polymerizable compound having a molecular weight of 200-1500, and comprises a repeating unit having a crosslinking part. The electrically conductive polymer is a pi conjugated electrically conductive polymer, and a cationic electrically conductive polymer. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) an optical film;    (2) a polarizing plate; and    (3) an image display device.
