The present invention provides a light control film that can prevent generation of a moiré pattern when it is superimposed on another member having a regular structure while securing sufficient front luminance, and a backlight device using the same. The light control film of the present invention has a light control layer provided with an uneven pattern on a surface, and in this uneven pattern, a plurality of convexes having circular bases of approximately the same diameters are arranged so that the bases thereof should not overlap with one another and each should touch one or two or more other bases, and ratio of convexes arranged so that each of circular bases thereof should touch both bases of two convexes of which bases touch each other is controlled to be 50 to 92% among the total convexes arranged. The backlight device of the present invention is a backlight device incorporated with the aforementioned light control film.
