Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A roll-to-roll apparatus reliably reduces breakage of a glass film even in a case of sequentially performing predetermined processing on the glass film. Provided is a glass roll ( 1 ) formed by winding a glass film ( 2 ) into a roll, in which a resin film ( 4 ) is attached onto the glass film ( 2 ), and at least a part of the resin film ( 4 ) is arranged on a front side of an unwinding direction relative to a leading end portion in the unwinding direction of the glass film ( 2 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 10 . (canceled) 11 . A processing method for a glass roll, for sequentially performing, by a roll-to-roll apparatus, predetermined processing on a glass roll including a glass film wound into a roll, the processing method comprising: attaching a resin film onto the glass film; arranging at least a part of the resin film on a front side of an unwinding direction relative to a leading end portion in the unwinding direction of the glass film; and guiding the glass film into the roll-to-roll apparatus while the resin film is in the lead. 12 . The processing method for a glass roll according to claim 11 , wherein a length of the resin film, which corresponds to a part on the front side of the unwinding direction relative to the leading end portion in the unwinding direction of the glass film, is equal to or larger than an entire length of a conveyance path for the glass film in the roll-to-roll apparatus. 13 . The processing method for a glass roll according to claim 11 , wherein at least a part of the resin film is arranged also on a rear side of the unwinding direction relative to a trailing end portion in the unwinding direction of the glass film. 14 . The processing method for a glass roll according to claim 13 , wherein a length of the resin film, which corresponds to a part on the rear side of the unwinding direction relative to the trailing end portion in the unwinding direction of the glass film, is equal to or larger than the entire length of the conveyance path for the glass film in the roll-to-roll apparatus. 15 . The processing method for a glass roll according to claim 12 , wherein at least a part of the resin film is arranged also on a rear side of the unwinding direction relative to a trailing end portion in the unwinding direction of the glass film.
