Abstract
Abstract A biaxially oriented polyester film is provided, which has a plurality of depressions and a plurality of protrusions on at least one surface thereof, in a configuration such that at least one protrusion exists within each depression or at least protrusion exists in the area where two or more depressions are contiguous to each other depressions having an area fraction of from 1×10 -3 to 6×10 -1 . The polyester film is useful as a substrate for magnetic recording tapes such as audio and video tapes, and the resultant magnetic recording tapes are excellent in both electromagnetic transducing characteristics and runnability.
