A polyimide film of birefringence less than 0.01 is formed by drawing a copolymerized polyimide comprising a block component and a random component which are molecularly bonded, wherein the block component of copolymerized polyimide comprises an aromatic diamine compound having a rigid structure and an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid compound and wherein the random component of copolymerized polyimide comprises an aromatic diamine compound having a flexible structure and at least two aromatic tetracarboxylic acid components. The resulting polyimide film has high elasticity, a low thermal expansion equivalent to that of metal and low water absorbing properties. A method for its manufacture and a metal laminated plate having improved curl properties in which the polyimide is used as the base material are also disclosed.
