Abstract

Abstract There is disclosed a transparent slippery biaxially stretched polyester film characterized by satisfying the relations represented by the following formulas after being biaxially stretched and heat-set: 0.155</= DELTA P</=0.165 (1) 1.605</= &upbar& n</=1.610 (2) DELTA n</=0.02 (3) 7.0</=XI</=11.0 (4) 0.55</=[ eta ]F</=0.65 (5) <IMAGE> (6) DELTA H</=0.5 (7) wherein DELTA P, &upbar& n, DELTA n, XI, [ eta ]F and DELTA H ar respectively degree of planar orientation, average refractive index, birefringence, % ratio of the peak value of the (1 &upbar& 10) face measured by X-ray diffractometry to the peak value of the (100) face, intrinsic viscosity and surface haze of the biaxially stretched film.
