The present invention relates to a biaxially stretched, laminated, white microporous
polyester film, which can be used in a wide range of industrial applications including
printing, imaging, advertising and display. The film of the present invention comprises
a porous polyester resin layer B containing a thermoplastic resin non-compatible
with polyester; a polyester resin-based photic layer A formed on one surface of
the resin layer B, the photic layer A having a 60-degree gloss of the surface thereof
of more than 100%; and an aphotic layer C formed on the other surface of the resin
layer B, the aphotic layer C having a 60-degree gloss of the surface thereof of
less than 50%. The total density of the photic layer A and the aphotic layer C
is 0.55-1.2 g/cm3. This film has excellent gloss and flexibility so
that it is very suitable for use in printing and imaging.
