Method and apparatus for producing functional film

Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for producing a film with a coating solution including a material whose performance is deteriorated by oxygen functional film, without performance deterioration. The apparatus for producing a functional film includes a coating device which has a backup roller and a die coater and applies a coating solution having a dissolved oxygen concentration of 1000 ppm or less and including 10000 ppm or less of an organic solvent to a flexible support transported in a state where the support is wound around the backup roller to form a coated film, a lamination device which laminates a coated surface of the coated film and the film on the backup roller, and an inert gas atmosphere forming device which forms an inert gas atmosphere in a space including the coated surface from a coating start position to a lamination start position on the backup roller.
