Abstract: A coating device is provided with: a plurality of inkjet heads (31) staggered to cover an area to be coated in a width direction of a long-roll supporting body (10); a pressure adjusting mechanism (40) for adjusting the back-pressure of the coating solution to be applied from inkjet heads (31); a plurality of solution feeding pipes (43) for supplying the coating solution from the pressure adjusting mechanism (40) to inkjet heads (31); and storage tank (50) for storing the coating solution, wherein the feeding volumes of the coating solution from the solution feeding pipes (43) are adjusted equal (i.e. flow resistances of the piping are made equal), so that equal back-pressures are applied to the coating solution to be jetted from the inkjet heads.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a gas barrier film inhibits modification-suppressing adsorbed substances from being taken in a coating film to further improve gas barrier performance. In the method, a coating solution containing polysilazane is coated, followed by application of a VUV radiation treatment. In addition, a method of manufacturing a gas barrier film includes coating a coating solution containing polysilazane on a surface of a film to form a coating film, followed by making the resulting film pass through a drying zone, and exposing the surface of the coating film to vacuum UV radiation to conduct a modification treatment. An oxygen concentration in the drying zone, achieved by supplying inert gas into the drying zone, is 10% or less.

Abstract: A method to produce a coated film comprising the steps of: (a) ejecting a coating liquid continuously from an ejecting portion of an extrusion head; (b) applying the coating liquid ejected from the ejecting portion of the extrusion head onto a continuously conveyed film; and (c) stopping the ejection of the coating liquid, wherein an organic solvent is supplied to a vicinity of the ejecting portion of the extrusion head from before starting the ejection of the coating liquid to after starting the ejection of the coating liquid in step (a).

Abstract: A coating head discharges the coating solution in a discharging direction through a slit to a support and is designed such that a slit has a length M (mm) along the discharging direction and a gap G (mm), and a manifold has a coating width L (mm) orthogonal to the discharging direction, a cross sectional area S (mm2) and a circumferential length R (mm) of a cross section, wherein the coating head and the supplying means are arranged such that the coating solution is supplied symmetrically in terms of the center of the coating width of the manifold through the feeding port into the manifold, and dimensions of the coating head are determined to satisfy formula (1): 10−4<(L2R2G3)/(24MS3)<10−2  (1)
