The storage volume (a) is preferably 1.0 to 6.5L, for example, from the viewpoint of suppressing occurrence of defects by promoting discharge of the coating liquid.
As shown in fig. 2 (a), a part of the gravure roll 201 is immersed in the coating liquid 203. When the volume of the coating liquid reservoir 202 itself is set to (a) (hereinafter, referred to as "reservoir volume (a)") and the volume of the impregnated portion of the gravure roll 201 when immersed in the coating liquid 203 is set to (B) (hereinafter, referred to as "volume of the impregnated portion (B)"), the ratio (a/B) of the reservoir volume (a) to the volume of the impregnated portion (B) may be, for example, 6.0 or less, 5.9 or less, 4.0 or less, or 1.9 or less, may be, for example, 1.1 or more, 1.2 or 1.3 or more, and may be, for example, 1.1 to 6.0, 1.2 to 4.0, or 1.3 to 1.9.

From the viewpoint of suppressing occurrence of defects by promoting discharge of the coating liquid, it is preferable that the coating liquid is discharged once every 60 seconds or less, for example.
Fig. 2 (b) schematically shows another example of the application portion 20. The application section 20b further includes a pump 205, a first flow path 206a, and a second flow path 206b according to fig. 2 (a). The first channel 206a is a channel for supplying the coating liquid 203 to the coating liquid reservoir 202. The second channel 206b is a channel for discharging the coating liquid 203 stored in the coating liquid storage portion 202. In fig. 2 (b), the pump 205 is connected to the coating liquid reservoir 202 through the first channel 206a, but may be connected to the second channel 206b, or may be connected to both the first channel 206a and the second channel 206b, for example. The flow path may be made of metal or resin, for example, and may be a pipe or a hose.
Examples of the pump 205 include a diaphragm pump, a rotary pump, a centrifugal pump, a mornode pump, and an air pump. The discharge amount (liquid supply amount) of the pump 205 may be, for example, 0.5 to 20L/min, 1.0 to 18L/min, or 1.5 to 15L/min. From the viewpoint of suppressing the number of defects, it is preferably 1.8 to 12L/min, for example.
In fig. 2 (b), the pump 205 circulates the coating liquid 203 by performing at least one of the supply and the discharge, and the stored coating liquid 203 is supplied and discharged once every 150 seconds or less by the circulation. For example, when the pump 205 is connected only through the first channel 206a, only the supply is performed, and when the pump 205 is connected only through the second channel 206b, only the discharge is performed, and when the pump 205 is connected through both the first channel 206a and the second channel 206b, both the supply and the discharge may be performed. In the discharging, for example, a liquid collecting tank 207 of the discharged liquid shown in fig. 2 (b) may be provided, or the circulation of the coating liquid 203 may be performed without providing the liquid collecting tank. The time for replacement of the coating liquid 203 may be, for example, the same as that described in fig. 2 (a).
In fig. 1, the present apparatus 1 includes a drying section 30, and the drying section 30 dries the applied coating liquid 203 (resin layer 102 ") to form a resin layer 102'. The drying method may use, for example, the heating mechanism 301. The heating means 301 includes, for example, a heater, a heating roller, and a far infrared heater. The drying temperature is, for example, 50 to 250 ℃, 60 to 150 ℃, 70 to 130 ℃, and the drying time is, for example, 0.1 to 30 minutes, 0.2 to 10 minutes, 0.3 to 3 minutes.
The resin layer may be, for example, a hard coat layer, an antiglare layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, an ink layer (printing layer), an antiblocking layer, an index matching layer, an easy-to-adhere layer, or an antifouling layer.
The present apparatus 1 may further include, for example, a first winding-out section 10, a crosslinking section 40, a second winding-out section 50, a winding-up section 60, and the like. The crosslinking unit 40, for example, crosslinks the resin layer 102' to form the resin layer 102. The crosslinking may be performed using, for example, a crosslinking mechanism 401. The crosslinking mechanism 401 may be, for example, a lamp that emits light (ultraviolet rays or the like), an EB device that irradiates an electron beam, or the like. In the case where the crosslinking is performed by ultraviolet rays, the wavelength of the ultraviolet rays may be, for example, 200 to 380nm, 280 to 380nm, or 315 to 380nm. The irradiation time of the ultraviolet ray may be, for example, 0.1 to 5 minutes, 0.2 to 3 minutes, or 0.3 to 1 minute. The irradiation intensity of the ultraviolet ray may be, for example, 5.0 to 100mW/cm 2 、8.0~90mW/cm 2 Or 10.0-80 mW/cm 2 . The cumulative exposure amount of the energy ray source at 365nm, for example, may be 50 to 500mJ/cm 2 、100~450mJ/cm 2 Or 150 to 400mJ/cm 2 . The irradiation amount is 50mJ/cm 2 As described above, the curing is easily and sufficiently performed, and the hardness of the formed resin layer is easily increased. In addition, if it is 500mJ/cm 2 Hereinafter, coloring of the resin layer to be formed can be prevented. In the case where the crosslinking step is electron beam curing, the dose is, for example, 5 to 50kGy, preferably 5 to 40kGy, so as not to deteriorate the resin base material or to cause coloring. The acceleration voltage of the electron beam is 100 to 3000kV, preferably 150 to 300kV.
An example of a method for producing a laminate of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to fig. 1 and 2.
First, the substrate 101 is drawn out from the first roll-out section 10 and conveyed to the coating section 20. In the coating section 20, a coating step (1) of coating the coating liquid 203 on at least one surface of the substrate 101 is performed. In the coating step (1), the coating liquid 203 stored in the coating liquid storage unit 202 is filled in a small chamber on the surface of the gravure roll 201, and the coating liquid 203 in the small chamber is transferred onto the substrate 101 to form the resin layer 102 "before drying". At this time, the coating liquid storage unit 202 supplies and discharges the maximum amount of coating liquid that the coating liquid storage unit 202 can store once every 150 seconds or less. The details of the coating section 20 in the coating step (1) are as described above with reference to fig. 2 (a) and (b). After the coating step (1), the resin layer 102″ is dried by the drying mechanism 301 in the drying step (2), thereby forming a resin layer 102'. After the drying step (2), a crosslinking step (3) may be further provided. In the crosslinking step (3), the resin layer 102' is crosslinked by the crosslinking mechanism 401, thereby forming the resin layer 102. After the drying step (2) or the crosslinking step (3), the base material 101 (laminate) on which the resin layer 102' or the resin layer 102 is formed is wound up by the winding unit 60 to form a roll.

The aggregate is formed by agglomerating the coating liquid.
[ confirmation of defect-free ]
The films (optical films) of the above examples and comparative examples were cut (slit) into 1330mm×1000mm squares as test samples. For these test samples, the presence or absence of a point defect was confirmed by the following methods of Z-ray reflection inspection and point light source transmission inspection. The number of defects confirmed by the Z-ray reflection inspection and the point light source transmission inspection was added together as the number of defects per m (in/m). In addition, the same defect confirmed in both the Z-light reflection inspection and the point light source transmission inspection was measured so as to avoid repetition of counting.
< defect confirmation method: z light reflection inspection ]
Z light (model "Z-208" manufactured by mountain land Motor Co.) was irradiated from a position that was 400mm apart at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the coated surface of the test specimen. The number of defects was measured by visually checking the coated surface from a position 300mm from the center of the coated surface at an angle of 45 degrees (90 degrees with respect to the light source) with respect to the test sample.
< defect confirmation method: point light Transmission inspection-
A point light source (model "L8425-01", manufactured by Photonics Corp. Of Toku., ltd.) was irradiated from a position 560mm from the center of the coated surface at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the coated surface of the test specimen. The transmitted light after passing through the test sample is projected onto a whiteboard disposed at a position of 1050mm from the point light source. That is, the test sample is irradiated with light while the test sample is sandwiched between the point light source and the whiteboard (between the point light source and the whiteboard), and the transmitted light is projected onto the whiteboard. In case a defect is contained in the test sample, the defect is projected onto the whiteboard. Defects projected on the whiteboard were visually checked, and the number of defects was measured.
The number of defects in the examples, which were applied under the conditions that the ratio (a/B) was 6.0 or less and the liquid supply amount was small, was compared with the number of defects in the comparative examples (comparative examples 1 to 3) in each laminate, and was calculated as the defect number ratio. The appearance improvement effect was judged to be exhibited under the condition that the defect number ratio was 50% or less.
The supply and discharge times of the coating liquid are calculated by the following calculation formula.
Time (min) for changing the coating liquid= (amount (L) of coating liquid stored in the coating liquid storage portion) -volume (L) of the immersed portion of the gravure roll)/liquid supply amount (L/min)
