To provide a total reflection prism sheet, constituted so that the influence of external light and stray light is suppressed, even if the image light is made incident at a large incident angle, and a proper images can be observed, and the sheet can be easily manufactured, to provide a method for manufacturing the total reflection prism sheet, and to provide a rear projection type display apparatus.

A unit prism shape 12 for total reflection of the incident light is arranged on the incident side, a light-absorbing part 13 is formed on the inner layer surface other than a position, where the totally reflected light passes, and a lenticular lens shape 15 is formed closer to an observation side than the light-absorbing part 13, and then, is made into a single prism sheet 10.
