Patent number: 9394416Abstract: A functional film includes a substrate, at least two organic layers including a first organic layer directly formed on the substrate and a second organic layer being an uppermost layer farthest from the substrate, and at least one inorganic layer. The reminder of the least two organic layers except the second organic layer and the at least one inorganic layer are laminated on the substrate in such a way that one of the at least one inorganic layer is formed on each of the reminder of the least two organic layers. The first organic layer is thickest in the at least two organic layers, and the second organic layer is thinnest in the at least two organic layers and thicker than a thickest inorganic layer in the at least one inorganic layer.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2011Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Eijirou Iwase

Publication number: 20110177254Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a high-quality functional film having reduced defects such as cracks and cutouts in an inorganic film and having high producibility by transporting a supporting member with stability without causing degradation in performance when the inorganic film is grown on the supporting member. A lengthwise supporting member having a laminate film provided on its back surface side and having a self-supporting property is fed; a film of an inorganic material is formed on the front surface side of the supporting member while the supporting member is being transported under a vacuum; and the supporting member is wound into a film roll, thus manufacturing a functional film.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2011Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: FUJIFILM CORPORATIONInventor: Eijirou IWASE
