Abstract

The present invention provides an LCP extruded film comprising a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer and having a thickness of 15 μm or more and 300 μm or less, wherein coefficients of linear thermal expansion in a MD direction and a TD direction at 23 to 200° C. as measured by a TMA method according to JIS K7197 are each within a range of −30 to 55 ppm/K, and the following conditions (A) and/or (B) are satisfied, and a method for manufacturing the same, an LCP extruded film for stretch treatment, an LCP stretched film, a heat-shrinkable LCP stretched film, an insulating material for a circuit substrate, and a metal foil-clad laminate: (A) a degree of orientation α1(%) of a film surface S1 exposed and a degree of orientation α2(%) of a film surface S2 located at a depth of 5 μm from the film surface S1 satisfy a relationship of −4.0≤[(α2−α1)/α1]×100≤0.0; (B) a hardness H1 at a point of a depth of 1 μm located at a position of 1 μm from a film surface in a thickness direction and a hardness H2 at a thickness center point, as measured by subjecting a film cross section in parallel with a MD direction to a nanoindentation method, satisfy −10.0≤100×(H2−H1)/H1≤0.0.
