Abstract: A guide film supply mechanism feeds a guide film toward a winding mechanism. The guide film is a film in which a pair of supports, which is long in the longitudinal direction of a base film and is thicker than a product film, is disposed on both side portions of the upper surface of the base film that is formed to have a width larger than the width of the product film. A product film supply mechanism feeds the product film toward the upper surface of the guide film. The winding mechanism forms a film roll by winding the product film for each guide film. The tension of the product film is set to be smaller than the tension of the guide film.

Abstract: A continuous multi-layer film includes a support layer having a first film surface, and a hard coat layer, formed on the support layer, having a second film surface, and having a curling tendency in an inward direction. In the decurling method, the multi-layer film is transported. A first transition of the support layer in the multi-layer film being transported into a rubber phase is induced by supplying fluid vapor on the support layer. After supplying the fluid vapor, a second transition of the support layer from the rubber phase into a glass phase is induced. The multi-layer film is transported while a portion of the support layer in the rubber phase is prevented from contacting a solid object. The hard coat layer is formed from a polymer produced from an ultraviolet curable compound, and the support layer is formed from cellulose acylate.
