a maximum amplitude (A) based on an average friction force is 0.15 or less in a graph for measuring a friction force with a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film which is measured by applying a load of 400 g to the surface thereof, and
wherein the maximum amplitude (A) is a maximum value of the absolute values of the difference between an average friction force and a maximum friction force and the difference between the average friction force and a minimum friction force, after measuring the average friction force, the maximum friction force, and the minimum friction force in a kinetic test distance section of the friction force measurement graph.
