Transfer method, transfer apparatus, and peeling method

A transfer method for transferring to an object a transfer material applied to a film portion fixed to a frame portion, the transfer method comprising:

• adhering the film portion to the object so that a layer of the transfer material is formed between the object and the film portion;
• and
• peeling off the film portion from the object by, while elevating a first side of the frame portion above a second side opposite to the first side, moving, in a direction from the first side toward the second side, a roller portion pressing a surface to which the transfer material is not applied in the film portion while rotating,
• wherein in the peeling, while the first side is elevated, the roller portion is moved in the direction from the first side toward the second side so that a position of a boundary line between a peeled region where the film portion is peeled off from the object and an unpeeled region where the film portion is not peeled off from the object coincides with a position of a rotation shaft in the roller portion,
• wherein the film portion is not fixed to a region other than the first side and the second side,
• wherein the second side is disposed on a swinging portion swingable according to a posture of the second side, and
• wherein in the peeling, as the roller portion presses the film portion, the frame portion warps in a direction opposite to a direction in which the film portion bends.
