  • Patent number: 8591688
    Abstract: A method for producing a functional film, comprising the steps of: feeding a substrate continuously from a film roll, forming a coating film on the substrate, providing a laminate film on a surface of the coating film, and winding up the resultant substrate into a film roll; and loading the film roll wound up in the prior step into a vacuum film-forming apparatus, feeding the substrate provided with the laminate film continuously from the film roll, peeling off the laminate film, forming an inorganic film on the coating film on the substrate, and winding up the resultant substrate into a film roll, wherein for the laminate film, an adhesive film having an adhesive layer having a peel force of 0.01 N/25 mm or more and 0.06 N/25 mm or less against the coating film is used.

  • Patent number: 8540837
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a functional film includes steps of: feeding a support continuously from a first film roll, forming a coating film on the support, providing a laminate film on a surface of the coating film, and taking up the support to a second film roll; and loading the second film roll made by the aforementioned step in a vacuum film-forming apparatus, feeding the support provided with the laminate film continuously from the film roll, peeling off the laminate film, forming an inorganic film on the coating film on the support, and taking up the support to a third film roll.

  • Publication number: 20100068528
    Abstract: The present invention provides a laminate and a laminate production apparatus capable of preventing dust from attaching to a substrate during transfer of the substrate. The laminate production apparatus includes: an A zone including a feeding and taking-up device which feeds a long-length substrate and takes up a laminate in which an underlying layer and a thin film are formed over the long-length substrate, and a coating device which applies a coating liquid onto the substrate to form a coated film; a B zone including a drying device which heat-treats the coated film; and a C zone including a vacuum film forming device which forms the thin film on the underlying layer, and a taking-up and feeding device which takes up and feeds the substrate on which surface the underlying layer is formed.

  • Publication number: 20100054826
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides a web transfer method comprising: a step of transferring a belt-like web; and a step of nipping both ends of the web by both end portions of a tiered roller and a pair of nip rollers, wherein the tiered roller is formed to have a larger diameter at the both end portions than at a central portion, and the pair of the nip rollers are arranged to incline outward in a transfer direction of the web to have an expansion angle.
