  • Patent number: 9290837
    Abstract: A technique for forming an organic polymer thin film on a surface of a substrate with high film formation efficiency and excellent reproducibility and stability is provided. When a vacuum deposition polymerization for forming an organic polymer thin film is performed on a surface of a substrate repeatedly, in which a plurality of kinds of monomers evaporated in a plurality of evaporation source containers in vacuum state are introduced into a deposition chamber in a vacuum state and polymerized on a surface of the substrate arranged in the deposition chamber, each of the monomers in a liquid form is present in the evaporation source containers in a constant amount every time, at the beginning of the evaporation operation of monomers.

  • Patent number: 8524369
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for laminating a decorative metal film on a resin base material with excellent adhesion to the resin base material and with a sufficient gloss imparted to the decorative metal film, and a resin base material having a decorative metal film. The method laminates a polymeric planarizing film on the resin base material using a vapor deposition polymerization method, and then laminates the decorative metal film on the planarizing film.

  • Patent number: 8221551
    Abstract: Provided is a deposition apparatus that has a metal evaporation source for depositing a reflective layer, a pigment evaporation source for depositing a coloring layer, and a plasma polymerization source (electrode) for depositing a protective layer disposed inside a single vacuum processing room. By carrying out a step of depositing the reflective layer, a step of depositing the coloring layer, and a step of depositing the protective layer in the common vacuum processing room, processes can be simplified and an operation time can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 6533630
    Abstract: A vacuum display device for enabling the manufacture of high quality plasma display device with high throughput. A front panel 6 constituting a plasma display device is carried into a film deposition chamber 22; and a MgO thin film is deposited in a vacuum atmosphere. The front panel 6 is then carried into an alignment chamber 11 without being exposed to the atmosphere and aligned with a rear panel 7 that has been subjected to degassing in a vacuum atmosphere. There is no absorption of gas, such as moisture; and the quality of the thin film is not degraded. After alignment, aging processing is carried out without exposure to the atmosphere, followed by gas encapsulation and hermetic sealing, which further increases throughput.
