Then, the oriented film material that is applied in the frame is stopped by housing, can not further expand.In view of the above, can reduce overflow (the profit exhibition) that forms the zone from oriented film, use oriented film material effectively.
In addition, film forming device 1 and the absorption workbench 9 about this embodiment is adjacent to be provided with head restoring device 10.In view of the above, can prevent to apply a hole plug of 4, and nozzle is recovered (cleaning), can control amount and the moment of dripping of the drop of the oriented film material that drips from the nozzle of coating 4 rightly.
In addition, through making a video recording, can confirm whether not have hole plug and discharge correctly by 13 pairs of oriented film materials of photographic camera from coating 4 discharge.
In addition and since the irradiation area (heating region 34 shown in Fig. 9 (b)) of heat power supply device 31 at glass substrate 100 below portalframe 3, so, can not encourage applying a hole plug of 4.
< variation >
In addition, the film forming device of relevant this embodiment is not limited to the structure of above-mentioned embodiment, in the scope of the purport that does not break away from invention, can carry out various changes.
Figure 10 is the structural representation of structure of portalframe 3 of the film forming device of the relevant variation of explanation.Compare with the portalframe 3 (referring to Fig. 2) of relevant this embodiment, side (face side of Fig. 1) also possesses heat power supply device 35 to the portalframe 3 (referring to Figure 10) of relevant variation in the return road of portalframe 3.Heat power supply device 35 is same with heat power supply device 31, for example is made up of infrared(ray)lamp, can be at vertical direction irradiation infrared rays roughly.Promptly, heat power supply device 35 when being the outlet of portalframe 3, can be with respect to the object irradiation infrared rays that has passed through at the opening 3a of portalframe 3 (referring to Fig. 1).
In addition, it lights a lamp and turns off the light heat power supply device 35 by control part 50 control.
Figure 11 is the synoptic diagram of housing working procedure of coating of the film forming device of the relevant variation of explanation, (a) during the expression outlet, (b) during the expression return road.
