Multilayer laminate film

An object of the present invention is to more conveniently provide a copolyester for a polyester film which exhibits excellent dimensional stability and in particular excellent dimensional stability against environmental changes in, for example, temperature and humidity, and has a small film elongation percentage at 110&#xb0; C. A copolyester of the present invention comprises: (A) an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component; (B) an alkylene glycol component; and (C1) a dimer acid component and/or (C2) a dimer diol component, wherein the copolyester contains, with reference to a molar number of a total dicarboxylic acid component, 0.5 to 3.5 mol % of the dimer acid component (C1) and/or 0.3 to 5.0 mol % of the dimer diol component (C2).

A multi-layer, layered film includes a multi-layer, alternately layered body containing birefringent first layers including a first resin and isotropic second layers including a second resin, in which the multi-layer, layered film has a layer thickness profile with which light at a wavelength of from 380 to 780 nm can be reflected due to optical interference between each of the first layers and each of the second layers, in which a layer thickness profile for an optical thickness of the first layers has a first monotonically increasing region which meets specific requirements, and in which a layer thickness profile for an optical thickness of the second layers has a second monotonically increasing region which meets specific requirements.

Multi-layer layered film

The invention provides a multilayer laminated film containing a multilayer laminated structure of alternately laminated first and second layers, and a thick film layer in contact therewith. The multilayer laminated structure has a layer thickness profile in terms of the physical thickness of repeating first and second layers.
