Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an electrodeposition coating device of large coating capacity which is able to perform an electrodeposition coating onto a flexible board without generating an electrodeposition failure by a method wherein a threshold of insulator is provided between the inlet of an electrodeposition solution tank through which the flexible board is put in and a counter electrode. CONSTITUTION:When a flexible board 5 is electrodeposited while being transferred, the electric resistance between a flexible board 7 near the inlet of a tank and a counter electrode 6 is made remarkably higher, by providing a threshold 3 of insulator, as compared with that when the threshold 3 is not provided. Actually, photoresist is not deposited on the flexible board 7 near the inlet of the tank, so that photoresist can continuously and uniformly be deposited on the flexible board by providing a threshold of insulator.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, if the electrodeposition bath for flexible substrates described above has a uniform film thickness and film characteristics, and if cysts are to be electrodeposited, the transportation of the flexible substrate and the electrodeposition are difficult. Electrodeposition must be carried out by the so-called tact method, rather than at the same time. If the two processes are performed at the same time, the resist will rapidly adhere to the area where the flexible substrate enters the bath, causing the film to deposit unevenly, giving the resist a striped appearance, or causing a large amount of current to be applied locally. flows and changes the quality of the resist. This phenomenon occurs because the resist is a nonconductor.

By the way, in the above-mentioned tact method of electrodeposition, since the transportation of the flexible substrate and the electrodeposition are carried out separately, the processing capacity of the coating machine is small, and the amount of sag at the boundary with the electrodeposition liquid during electrodeposition of the substrate to be processed is small. There was a problem that some parts were not electrodeposited correctly, resulting in defective parts. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and its purpose is to perform electrodeposition coating on flexible substrates that has a high coating capacity and does not cause defective electrodeposition areas.

In this case, the photoresist does not actually precipitate, and the photoresist gradually starts to precipitate in the further advanced portion 8. Further, the shape of the threshold 3 needs to be optimized based on the physical properties such as the conductivity of the electrodeposition liquid and the shape of the flexible substrate 5. As described above, when the flexible substrate 5 is energized and placed in a bath, the non-uniform deposition of electrodeposit called "stepping", which has been a problem until now, can be changed to continuous and uniform deposition by threshold 3. can.
