A polycarbonate resin which is excellent in terms of optical properties, hue, thermal stability, and mechanical properties and a transparent film formed from the resin are provided. The invention relates to a polycarbonate resin which has a glass transition temperature of 110-150°C and a reduced viscosity, as measured at 20°C with respect to the methylene chloride solution having a concentration of 0.6 g/dL, of 0.30-0.46, and which, when being molded, gives a film wherein the ratio of the retardation thereof measured at a wavelength of 450 nm (Re450) to the retardation thereof measured at a wavelength of 550 nm (Re550) is 0.50-0.93. |
