The inner deckle is arranged at each end of a die. The die includes a die piece and is formed with a manifold and a slit. The deckle main body includes a seal reinforcing portion. A liquid material is supplied into the manifold. The seal reinforcing portion includes at least one sealing member having two or more films. The films slide and are simultaneously elastically deformed against an inner wall of the manifold when a position of the inner deckle is moved with respect to the die. The films cooperate with each other and are closely attached to the inner wall by an elastic restoring force when the position of the inner deckle is fixed with respect to the die. | 04-17-2014 |
20140234539 | DIE-TYPE COATING DEVICE AND COATING METHOD - A die-type coating device includes a supply roll, a die, a rewinding roll, web widthwise end position detection devices, and layer widthwise end position detection devices. The die includes a pair of inner deckles which adjust a coating width. The inner deckle is arranged at one of two end portions of the die and configured to be easily moved in the die in a longitudinal direction of the die. The die includes a drive device which drives and moves the inner deckles. The drive device is driven on a basis of information on both widthwise end positions of the web detected by the web widthwise end position detection devices and information on both widthwise end positions of the layer of the coating liquid or the coating layer detected by the layer widthwise end position detection devices so that respective positions of the inner deckles relative to the die are changed. | 08-21-2014 |
20150203720 | PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE OPTICAL FILM, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE ADHESIVE OPTICAL FILM, IMAGE DISPLAY, ADHESIVE COATING LIQUID, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE ADHESIVE COATING LIQUID - A pressure-sensitive adhesive optical film of the invention includes an optical film; and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer placed on at least one side of the optical film, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is a product formed by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating liquid having a dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.02 to 3 mg/L and then drying the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating liquid. The pressure-sensitive adhesive optical film can satisfy heat durability, humidity durability, and high contrast. | 07-23-2015 |
