Abstract: During displacement relative to a substrate 1, a coating die head emits coating liquid out of a slot 12a to a surface of the substrate. The coating die head includes a lip 12b having a lip surface 12b and a side having a side surface 12c. A contact angle of the surface 12c with respect to the coating liquid is greater than a contact angle of the surface 12b with respect to the coating liquid. This configuration enhances stabilization of bead of the coating liquid during application process of the coating liquid, preventing stripes and steps from appearing in the coating layer. This coating die head makes it possible to carry out high precision coating required for fabrication of color filters for liquid crystal displays.

Abstract: Coating liquids (A) and (B) containing a plurality of organic solvents are previously multilayered on an inclined slide surface 2. The multilayered coating liquids (A) and (B) are transferred onto a substrate 4 to make a multilayered coating film. A coating liquid, which has a mixture ratio of a true solvent and other solvents higher than a ratio at which a gelation starts, is used as the coating liquid (B) for making a lower layer. Thus, a clearly separated multilayered coating film can be achieved without a boundary face between layers being blurred because of solvent diffusion, even when the coating liquids have low viscosity.
