wherein the polyester film is obtained from a polyester comprising
(a) 50 mol % or more of ethylene terephthalate based on 100 mol % total constituent components of the polyester,
(b) 0-3 mol % of one or more aliphatic dicarboxylic acids based on 100 mol % total polycarboxylic acid content, and
(c) 14 mol % or more of one or more monomers which can form an amorphous component based on 100 mol % total polyhydric alcohol content or 100 mol % total polycarboxylic acid content,
wherein the monomers which can form an amorphous component are selected from the group consisting of neopentyl glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, isophthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,2-diethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-n-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-isopropyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-di-n-butyl-1,3-propanediol, and hexanediol,
