Abstract

A laminate film manufacturing method is capable of preventing thickness unevenness of a cured layer and preventing wrinkling of the entire laminate film. A laminate film is manufactured by applying a coating solution including an active radiation curable resin to a surface of a first film that is continuously transported in an application part to form a coated film in a lamination part, laminating a second film that is continuously transported on the coated film to sandwich the coated film between the first film and the second film, and in a state in which the coated film is sandwiched between the first film and the second film, winding the first film around a backup roller and irradiating the coated film with infrared rays from an ultraviolet irradiation device while continuously transporting the first film to cure the coated film in a curing part so as to form a cured layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A laminate film manufacturing method comprising at least:
a step of applying a coating solution including an active radiation curable resin to a surface of a first film that is continuously transported to form a coated film; a step of winding a first film on a backup roller and laminating a second film that is continuously transported on the coated film on the first film with a laminate roller to sandwich the coated film between the first film and the second film; and a step of, in a state in which the coated film is sandwiched between the first film and the second film, winding a surface side of the first film on the backup roller and irradiating the coated film with active radiation while continuously transporting the sandwiched coated film to cure the coated film so as to form a cured layer.

2 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a difference between the temperature of the first film and the second film before the coated film is irradiated with the active radiation and the temperature of the first film and the second film after the coated film is irradiated with the active radiation is 25° C. or less.

3 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein when any of the first film and the second film comes into contact with the backup roller, a difference between the temperature of the backup roller and the temperature of the first film or a difference between the temperature of the backup roller and the temperature of the second film is 25° C. or less.

4 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the temperature of the first film and the second film is equal to or lower than the glass transition temperature thereof.

5 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first film or the second film is a barrier film provided with a barrier layer, and the barrier film is provided with a barrier layer having an oxygen transmission rate of 1.00 cm 3 /(m 2 ·day·atm) or less.

6 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 5 ,
wherein the barrier layer is an inorganic film including at least one compound selected from silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxide, and aluminum oxide.

7 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first film or the second film is provided with a hard coat layer.

8 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the coating solution includes at least one of a quantum dot or a quantum rod.

9 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first film or the second film is provided with a light diffusing layer.

10 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a viscosity of the coating solution is within a range of 40 mPa·s to 400 mPa·s.

11 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a distance between a position where the first film is wound on the backup roller and a position where the second film is brought into contact with the coated film is 30 mm or more.

12 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a distance between a position where the second film is brought into contact with the coated film and a position where the active radiation is irradiated is 30 mm or more.

13 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a distance between the backup roller and the laminate roller is less than or equal to a total thickness of the first film, the cured layer and the second film.

14 . The laminate film manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,
wherein a distance between the backup roller and the laminate roller is less than or equal to a value obtained by adding 5 mm to a total thickness of the first film and the coated film.
