  • Patent number: 10046356
    Abstract: This coating device according to the present invention comprises a slit nozzle (30); a liquid supply path (10) for a coating liquid; a pneumatic transportation device (20) for transporting the coating liquid pneumatically; a liquid supply valve (50) for opening/shutting the liquid supply path (10); a pump (40) configured so as to be capable of suctioning the coating liquid inside the slit nozzle (30); a residual-pressure removal means (80) for removing the residual pressure inside the slit nozzle (30); and a control section (70) for controlling the operation of the liquid supply valve (50), the pump (40), and the residual-pressure removal means (80); wherein the coating liquid remaining inside the slit nozzle (30) is suctioned at the end of coating after pumping of the coating liquid is stopped and the residual pressure inside the slit nozzle (30) is removed. With this configuration the coating device improves responsive at the end of the coating without a complicated control procedure.
